Hi all,

i'm developing an application for a client who has extremely large forms. The way they created and printed the forms originally was with Microsoft Word. So what I did, instead of going through a reporting tool like Crystal and recreating the forms, I just insert database fields unto the actual Word doc. I then call it up using the Word Mail Merge function from within Visual Basic 6 (Word Instance).

The problem is that every time I call Word from within the application, and try to pass the data a prompt comes up asking for the ODBC connection. Does anyone know how I can stop that from happening?

Thanks.

Delton Phillips.
