>>Actually, I think I said I use both depending on the job. I have written some apps that use the bookmark (just as a learning experience) and they work well. The template is password protected so I'm the only one who can change it and the data flows as it should. I've also written apps using mailmerge. As a matter of fact I had an app that had to be written in FP 2.6 last month because of the different platforms it was running on, and I put a button on the form to dump the data to a table, then created a Word template that accesses the data source and exposes the mailmerge toolbars. This was done to maximize the users power for reporting. Since I felt they might want their letters to have more information from the data, I gave them that ability without having to have me rewrite anything. So for me, the bottom line is use what gets the job done. I've also not had any problem with the bookmarks being overwritten, but I think I was doing an insertafter

Yeah, the program copies the table to the my documents folder.
