hi,
i wanted to know if it's possible to build an asp.net mail to automate
mail merge with ms word documents. i already have the ms word document
created with the merge fields, currently we go through the mail merge
wizard to select a datasource to merge it with, but i wanted to create
a page with buttons, selecting a certain button would cause the
document to open using a certain datasource, everything would be merged
and ready. is this possible? i've seen some sample code, but it's
always creating the ms word document in the code, i don't need that
it's already created, just a way to launch it from a button and have it
merge to a datasource, datasource would change time to time so that i
can control through web.config when needed.
thanks.

Of course there is a way to do it for free. All you have to do is write
it yourself using the Word Object Model which is FREE-ly avaliable.

You could probably open the document using Word interop - import
Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Word, create an Application, load the
Document, and then use its MailMerge property to do whatever you want.
[Note that Microsoft doesn't really recommend doing stuff with Office
interop on a server, though...] This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi Everyone,
Access 2000
I have some code behind a button that performs a word merge with a query
data source. The merge works fine. But what I'd like to do somehow is
after the merge is generated (or before), assign the current date to the
field in the main table the query data source is based
on. Is this even possible? If so, how could I do it? Here is the code
that works so far:

Firstly, I have no problem with mail merging to Word, VB code for that

On one mail merge I need to merge 15 fields of data that are from 3

The 3 records are all in the same table. If I use a control source that
is selecting the 3 records, all of the data is shown but spread over 3
pages in the mail merge, but needs to be listed together in one

Is there anyway of looping through the 3...

Hello folks,
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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
