HI All,

I have been trying to complete a mail merge routine using MS Word 2002. The data source will be a small text file which is created from an ever-changing field list derived from an SQL database. In order to create this text file in the most efficient manner, I need to retrieve the mail merge field names in the document used for the mail merge. This document is one a user will choose and could contain one, three, five or even fifty-five mail merge fields. This statement tells me how many mail merge fields there are in the DOC...


mmcount=document.MailMerge.Fields.Count


But, what do I use to get the name of each field? I am certain there will be a loop and counter involved... I was hoping something like ...


mmFname=document.MailMerge.Fields.item(x).Name ;


Please note that I have already dicovered the syntax to get the field names from the datasource.. this I do not want since the datasource will change dynamically. I need the mail merge field names from the active document regardless of data the source.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks,
Paul
