Thank you for responding. What I am attempting to do is to take one set of
data and update many documents. The data consist of name, address, phone,
and other information. The document are different contracts that all need
the same data. There are in fact a total of 250 contracts.
One MVP suggested using Find & ReplaceAll (BatchReplaceAll()) from the MVP
website. That was good suggested except it will only work with one piece of
data.
I do not have any code thou I am developing some test stuff as I experiment.
It seems to me that there must be a way to do what I want to do. For
example, I am able to locate the MailMergeField. Is there a way to change
the field, and than I could print the new document or save it as new
document. By printing or saving the changed document, I would not change the
original document that contains the MailMergeFields and the document could be
used again for MailMerging.
Is there a method that will allow me to change the MailMergeField? Or is
there another way to do what I am attempting to do?
I have since learned that the initial need for me to create this
funtionality is no longer needed but as a programmer I still feel challenaged
and would like to see if I can make this work.
I hope this response gives you the information you need and I thank you for
taking the time to respond and any suggestions you might have.
Thanks

You can do the "Replace" routine many times. The best is to create a
Function that does the Find/Replace and to call this function as often as
you need passing it string variables to specify the find text and the
replace text.

If all the documents are merge source documents, i.e. they contain mailmerge
fields prior to a merge, look at the Code property of the mailmerge field
object.
