Hi William, here is how I do it.

*-- Office 97 --*
oWord = CREATEOBJECT("Word.Application")
oWord.Documents.Open("Reports\MergeDoc.doc")
oWord.Documents("MergeDoc.doc").Select

*-- Destination (0 - New Word doc)
*-- (1 - To printer. Incl. dialogbox)
oWord.Documents("MergeDoce.doc").MailMerge.Destination = 0

oWord.Documents("MergeDoc.doc").MailMerge.Execute
oWord.Activedocument.Printout
oWord.Activedocument.Close
oWord.Documents("MergeDoc.doc").Close
RELEASE oWord
