Is there a way to programmatically point to the database file and
table/query within the database so that the end user doesn't have to even
select the data source on a merge with an Access database?

Just seems to me to be a cleaner transition to the Word document from
Access.

OR is this something that would have to be done in a higher level
"language"?

Thanks
John

Maybe I am missing something here, but if you set up the document/template
with the datasource attached what you are after should not be necessary.
