Tim -

I was searching for some info on using VFP with OLE automation for WP, but have been unsuccessful so far in trying to get it to work. I can get as far as calling and opening a document in WP from VFP, but the mail merge command won't work. Did you do anything like that? If so, can you offer some tips on what worked for you?

P.S. Did you ever solve your bar chart problem?

Thanks,

Sylvia
