I posted last week about a mailmerge that worked fine under Word2000 but not
under 2002 or 2003. I had originally thought that it was b/c I was using
word.basic commands and rewrote to use word.application. I am still getting
the error "1429 OLE IDispatch exception code 0 for MS Word: This method or
property is not available b/c the current mail merge main document needs a
datasource..." and this line is the mailmerge.Execute line. Again, this
works on machines that have Word2000 on them, but not 2002 or 2003.
Any ideas? I am really under the gun here. We are all upgrading to 2003
soon. Thanks so much.

For a mailmerge to execute in Word, a datasource is required.

I would suggest that you post the problem, with relevant code, in the
word.vba.general newsgroup. (post code in the message, not as an attachment)
