Here is the code I use for executing a Word97 mail merge.

oWord = CREATEOBJECT("Word.Application")
oWord.Documents.Open("Reports\Venteliste.doc")
oWord.Documents("Venteliste.doc").Select
oWord.Documents("Venteliste.doc").MailMerge.Destination = 0 && 0 - New word doc
oWord.Documents("Venteliste.doc").MailMerge.Execute
oWord.Activedocument.Printout

oWord.Activedocument.Close
oWord.Documents("Venteliste.doc").Close

RELEASE oWord
