This is more of an Access question than a Word question.  
Unfortunately, I've listed it twice under the "Macro"
heading on the Access group, without response.  It
involves both programs.  Anyway, here goes:

I have an Access 2000 db linked to Word 2000 documents
which contain merge fields and Word logic fields.  On a
form in the Access db users can click command buttons and
open corresponding linked Word forms.  The command
buttons trigger an Access macro.  An example of the
command line in the Access RunApp macro triggered by the
command button is as follows:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office\winword.exe  "C:\PBdB11162001\Pleadings
(merge)\VoucherSheets.doc"

Is there code I can add to the macro that will cause the
Word doc not only to open, but to merge?  Or do I need to
tackle this another way, such as from within Word, and
how might I do that.

Thank you.

Jim
