Word Mail Merge

[busterg]

I have a form that contains names and addresses that I want to merge with a word document. I have been doing this by simply creating a word document linking to the form in the database, setting up a macro in word to merge with that data. Then on a command button in the form running a macro to open that word document.

This does work fine but it merges the whole of the database. How can I merge just the current recored that i'm viewing?

Same question that has been on here many many times, and there seems to be little explanation... I have found no help at MS and the answers on this forum have been sketchy at best. Sorry...

To vangogh228:

I thought that your problem had been solved when we had this discussion of this topic on this thread:
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/ubb/Forum1/HTML/007966.html
However, if you could post your feedback on what happened when you implemented that link from MS Knowledgebase, I may be able to help you since I was able to do the same with my db.


To busterg:

Try this link from MS Knowledgebase:
For Word 2000:

Search on "Sending the Current Record to Word 2000 with Automation (Q210271)"

or try this link: http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q210271

HTH,

Lyn
