Hi,

I have a local cursor and work with an already prepared Word document.
The fieldnames of my cursor tally with the field names in my Word (template) document.
I am able to make a mailmerge by 'hand' by means of a) export my local cursor to an Exel file and than b) mailmerge myu WordDocument and the Excel sheet with the Word mailmerge module. I would like to automate that process in my VFP application.
When I use your Procedure, I get an wait windo "Preparing Word document.Please wait..." Nothing apearently happens, I cant cancel - remains Ctrl-Alt-Delteand , I kill VFP and are confronted with a window of Word - prompting me to to give the field delimeters no use to give a delimeter as VFP already killed.
Obviously I am either doing something wrong with passing the paramaters to your procedure or doing something wrong with preparing the Word (Template) document.
Some assistance would be nice.

VFP9Sp2 - Word2007.doc XP or VFP9Sp2 Win7 Word2010.doc no difference same situation.

Regards,

Koen
