>Try this: goWord.Dialogs(88).Execute() - this executes the print dialog box, without showing it. use .show() to show it. You can set things like duplex, page-range, numCopies at this object too!

Thanks,Tim! That did the trick. Here is my final code fragment:

with goword.activedocument
    .mailmerge.execute()
    .goword.dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).execute()    && 88
endwith

No errors. No prompts to the user. And no sign of Word! Just a nicely formatted form letter coming out of the printer.
