MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / April 2005Can I do a Mail Merge in Word from a DataSet as the data source?
I've been doing a Mail Merge using an Excel Spreadsheet as the data source using VB.NET. Can I just do it directly from my VB.NET code using a DataSet I have in the code? Thanks. No, Word always wants to connect to an external file, unless it is connecting via ODBC, but in that case a. it needs a user or system DSN, which is not very much different from having an external file b. you would need an ODBC driver capable of returning the data in your DataSet. A tall order, I suspect! Peter Jamieson > I've been doing a Mail Merge using an Excel Spreadsheet as the data source > using VB.NET.
