MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / December 2003Word Merge throws exception
Hi I'm running a C++ app that uses Word automation to merge data into a Word template. In the past this app has always worked OK, but now calling the MailMerge::Execute method results in a COleDispatchException being thrown and the following message is popped up: "Word could not finish merging these documents or inserting this database". I believe this is the first time I've tried to run this app with Word 2002 as opposed to Word 2000. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Dave Carey The problem is probably as follows. If you are also establishing the connection to the data source in your C++ code (and possibly even if you are not) and you were using ODBC to connect, you will need an extra parameter in the OpenDataSource call - in VBA it would be Subtype=wdMergeSubtypeWord2000 The Subtype parameter does not exist in Word 2000 or earlier. The wdMergeSubtypeWord2000 value makes Word use (roughly) the same approach to opening data sources as it did in Word 2000. -- Peter Jamieson - Word MVP > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Dave Carey |
