Hi, I am using the following code in Access 2003 to merge data from a query to a table in a Word document:
Private Sub BtnMerge_Click( )
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim objWord As Word.Applicatio n
Dim strDocumentPath As String
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set objWord = GetObject(, "Word.Applicati on")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set objWord = CreateObject("W ord.Application ")
End If
objWord.Visible = True
strMyTemplatePa th = "C:\Users\Bill\ Documents\Datab ases\Documents\ ACP117Section2. dot"
objWord.Documen ts.Add Template:=strDo cumentPathPath, NewTemplate:=Fa lse
objWord.ActiveD ocument.MailMer ge.OpenDataSour ce _
Name:=db.Name, _
LinkToSource:=T rue, _
Connection:="QU ERY QryACP117Sect2" , _
SQLStatement:=" Select * from [QryACP117Sect2]"
objWord.ActiveD ocument.MailMer ge.Execute
End Sub
The code works fine and merges to produce a Word document. The problem is that the completed document is produced with only one record (Table Row) per page, which I guess is 'letter' or 'label' merge format, rather than the 'directory' format I was hoping for i.e. with records following one another and spilling over pages.
If I open the document in Word and do a normal mail merge it produces the directory style document I want.
Any advice or solutions would be gratefully received.

Hi, HarryTheB.
If you are able to do it manually, then just record a macro and see the generated VBA code.
Regards,
Fish
P.S. I guess in your case you should set MailMerge.MainD ocumentType property.
Hi, Fish
I can't thank you enough. I simply added the line:
objWord.ActiveD ocument.MailMer ge.MainDocument Type = wdDirectory
and it works a treat. Once again many thanks

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:

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

Hi folks,
I am using the following code to merge data from an Access table to a
pre-defined Word 2000 merge document. It al works fine except for ONE
problem -- after the merged document displays and the user saves it or
whatever, then closes it, the actual merge template is displayed in
the background and asks if the user wants to save the updated merge
document. I do not want the user to even be aware of the merge
template at all. ...

First off, many many thanks to Albert who wrote the Mail Merge code for MS Access I am using. It has been working beautifully for a few years. However, my client just (without notice!) upgraded from Access 2000 to Access 2007. Now that component is failing.
The merge is building the data source file fine (text file named merge.888).

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