MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / July 2003Adding data to the data source!
I have a word document with a header file(Merge fields), and I have a disconnected recordset with the data for those fields. What is the best way to get the data into the document for later merging. Is there a way to past data to the data source without actually being connected to a database(using the disconnected recordset)? I don't know of any way to use a disconnected recordset directly as a data source and am not convinced there would be a "best" way. You could fairly easily create either a Word document containing a table (if there are no more than 63 fields) using automation, or use (say) the Jet OLEDB provider to create a .mdb and use that as the data source. -- Peter Jamieson MS Word MVP > I have a word document with a header file(Merge fields), > and I have a disconnected recordset with the data for > those fields.
