Thank you Tore,

I do use full pathes already. Seems to be something else.

>>I try to automate a mail merge but it does not work. what really makes it wierd is, that the merge works, when I load Word form the command window and give the commands to merge in the command window. The templat is loaded and the merged document is created. If I do the same from within a VFP program I get an error from Word, claiming there is no data source. Template and data source are identical. I check multiple times, that both the template and data source are correct and not mirrored somewhere else.
