Mail Merge to an existing document

Hi All,

I have been trying to mail merge to a document that was created
previously via automation. Scenario:

Use a .dot template - connect using sql statement to filter records -
save document in folder on hdd - Edit the document and perform the
merge - save as required.

This part works fine. The problem that I am having is re-opening the
created file and reconnecting the merge source via automation. I have
tried a variety of ways, though each have failed to successfully
connect the data to the document.

Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated...I'm growing balder
by the minute.

Thanks, Anton
