>>Hello All,
>>I know there have been numerous threads here on Universal Thread concerning Word/Foxpro mailmerges, but I can't seem to find an answer to my problem ( I've tried various drugs ), I need to create a data source for a predefined Word mailmerge document, and initiate the mailmerge process from within Visual FoxPro allowing user intervention from within Word, from what I've gleaned from the previous threads the process would be:
>>
>>1) Run a Visual FoxPro Query thus creating a table.
>>2) Start Word using Automation. ( ok so far ).
>>3) Open mailmerge document ( how? )
>>4) Print letters ( how? )
>>5) If letter printed ok set flag on table ( ok on this ).
>>
>>any help gratefuly received
