Access and word mail merge

Hi
I have a table that I merge with word.

Word open and then I must click on Merge to printer.
I would like to bypass this (merge to printer) and give the instruction in
Access to print so that it is not even necessary for word to ope n.
Thanks
Alfred

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...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
