MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / December 2003Mail merge and objects
I have an Access DB with embedded Word documents. I am searching for a way to do a mailmerge using the DB as the data source and have it render the embedded Word documents via the mergefield.... Is this possible? If so, how? Hi =?Utf-8?B?TWFya0I=?=, > I have an Access DB with embedded Word documents. I am searching for a way to do a mailmerge using the DB as the data source and have it render the embedded Word documents via the mergefield.... Is this possible? If so, how? If it's possible at all, then only using VBA Automation. Probably, you could automate opening the embedded Word object, linking to a data source, and performing the merge. you'd need to ask in an Access group for the first step, certainly. And you'd want to test (manually) whether such an embedded Word doc can access the same database in which it is stored as a data source. I'm guessing DDE might be a problem, but ODBC might work. If you need more help with the merge end, we'd need to know which version of Word we're dealing with.
