Launch Word from ASP

[juree2269]

Hi -

I want to be able to let my users print labels for a mailing list that they generate from info stored in the Access database (server side). Is there a way to launch a word file from ASP, passing the mailing list recordset as the data source for the mial merge feature in Word?

I am not sure about the object and syntax necessary to make this happen. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi there,
You will need to use the function:

Response.ContentType = "application/msword"

and then format the results

here is a place to start...

Here's a good example of Word mail merge with ASP from MS. It uses SQL but can be adapted for Access.
