hi,

I wrote a Word 2007 Add-In in C#, which imports my recipients from a csv
file I created.

This is the code I use:

---------                    doc.MailMerge.OpenDataSource(addressFileName, ref formatObj,
    ref trueObj, ref trueObj, ref trueObj, ref falseObj,
    ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
    ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
    ref falseObj, ref missing);
---------

This works fine, but when I want to send out the mailmerge, or want to
edit specific records, an error message pops up, which says that it
can't connect to the database. But when clicking ok, all fields are
filled out, as it should be.. ?!?

I found out, that Word is locking my csv-file with the contacts (so that
you cannot rename or delete the file). Maybe this is the problem,
because when I want to print or edit specific records (which is a new
Word window), it seems to create a new instance of Word and can't open
the CSV-file because it is already used by my initial Word window.

Any ideas how to solve this issue?

best regards,
Bernhard
