I am trying to do the following from an ASP.NET Web Application (C#). User fills out a form. The program takes those answers and merges them with a WORD document. I have tried the few examples of launching word from my app and get ACCESS DENIED when the Word attempts to start. Once the merge is complete, the document gets saved and sent to the user to open and further edit if necessary. The initial merge part doesn't have to

I have a Word 2003 mail merge main document (form letter) that is linked to another Word document data source for the mail merge. If I open this doc using the Word GUI, it first asks me to confirm that I want to run a query to select the data from the data source file, then it opens the form letter fine. I can preview the merged records and complete a merge to a new document. I have a VB 2006 project (.net framework 2.0) which opens the...

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: Private Sub RunLetters_Click()

Hi, I have some issues with the code below. These are: ONE: In code I open an existing document and 'attach' the Mail Merge data source, but the data is not poulating the merge fields until I manually press 'View Merged Data' button in Word. The data then appears as expected. If I perform the 'wrdMailMerge.Execute(ref oTrue);' call I get two documents

Is there anyway of looping through the 3...

Hello! 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 providing an absolute path reference to the word file being used for the mail merge. ...

I want to write a VBA mail merge code. I want to link the code/macro/dohicky to a nifty little button so it makes life easy. I think I can handle the button part, the code part - not so much.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
