Hello,
I have about 25 standard word documents that I have been asked to automate using access. Without getting too detailed I need to be able to mail merge automatically in the same way the access mail merge wizard works.
The idea being that all these documents are only stored as single records within an access database. When the user wants to print details of a record I will have a button on the form that automatically merges it into the relevant document (that record only). I cannot do this in report form as re-designing these documents or putting them in as backgrounds would be too time-consuming.
I know this must be possible somehow, as I can do it via all the wizards and mail merges with ease, but automating it with code is another matter. Any help/example code or sites with more info would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
