I have a MS word mail merge template created already. Something as simple as,

<<ReturnAddress>>
<<SendToAddress>>
How do I write the VB.Net side code to fill in different values to the
<<ReturnAddress>> and <<SendToAddress>> on the template and open the word doc?

Thanks,

Hi Rebecca,

Any luck with this? I had an asp.net vb word mailmerge program running
great until we upgraded to Office 2003. Now when we run it and try to open
the merged doc, we get an annoying message about "Select * From" and if you
say Yes to continue, you get the template, not the merged doc. This leaves
us manually creating the merged doc from the template, which makes the
automated merge process pretty useless.

Anyway, let me know if you get anywhere with this!

Thanks,
Larry
