Hi folks,
Please forgive me - this straddles Access & Word '97
If I could, I'd send a (approx 1000 records) recordset to Word, mailmerge
it & save the new document.
However, Word's mailmerge process stops at around 400 records (I've only
sent it a handful of fields for testing). My current method involves a saved
..doc with its datasource saved as my Access query. Thro' Access VBA I:
open the .doc, then,
mailmerge.Execu te
Save my new doc
close the docs
stare expectantly at my monitor, then despair at my incomplete (though
saved) document.
Can anyone help me with (a) a better way to programatically merge a
recordset into Word or (b) give me some feedback on whether I'm asking too
much from Word(?)
I'm thinking of restricting my query to the Top 200 records & using a '>
intID' paramter in the query itself. After finding the TOTAL number of
records, I can divide thisd number by say, 200, & then determine how many
times I need to run the query. If I grab the ID (autonumber) after each call
to the query and pass this value to intID, I should be able to get the next
200 records and so on...
Is this a sensible approach?
All suggestions are welcome.
Paul.

I'm not aware of any mail merge limit, but I'm far from an expert in the
field. Fortunately, I can refer you to Albert D Kallal's website, 'cuz
he is. Having used a portion of what he has, I do believe you'll like
the results. http://www.members.shaw.ca/AlbertKal...rge/page2.html

In our old VB 6 application we utilize a mail merge feature of Word 97 with
MS Access. A table in Access is populated from VB and a Word template is

We are moving to VB.NET (VS 2005) and Office 2003. I want to bypass Access
and either use a connection to SQL or a parametrized stored procedure. I

Hi everyone,
I've created a mail merge Word doc. (using Office XP) , the data source is
an Access query.
Functionality I'm attempting to set up is:
User sets a boolean field to true for each person for whom a mail

The query reads address info from the table for each record where is

I have a strange situation using Access to automate a Word mail merge. Using
Access 2000 and Word 2000, the code opens Word, opens the document in Word,
sets a table
in the calling Access application as the data source, and then performs a
merge. Everything works fine.
However, when a user uses it in Access 2002 and Word 2002, an extra instance
of the Access application is opened and remains open at the end. Sometimes
it remains open

Hi,
I'm using Access 2000.
I have a Select Query that uses the MID function to separate the actual text
of articles from the title of the articles. The articles are enterd into
the underlying table (in a memo field) in html format, as one big block of
text. The memo field is called (I named it before I realized
that I needed to separate title from text).

Help!!!
What am I doing wrong? I am working with Office 2003 and am trying to create a command button on an Access form that will create a mail merge in Word from an Access table.
I want to make the mail merge seamless to the user so all they have to do is click on the command button and the letters are generated.
For the button I created an event procedure with the following code:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
