>>I finally realized the reason I wasn't getting my mailmerge document to print is that I was "quitting" word too soon. What is the best way to keep checking oWord.BackGroundPrintingStatus? I tried the following code:

Are there any ramifications I should consider prior to doing this? I am basically looping through a bunch of records and then using the find .. replace method of word automation for each record. When I am done looping through all of the records I want to go ahead and close word and exit the form.
Prior to your post I went ahead and followed Garrett's advice and put a timer on the form. Do you see any advantage of one over the other?
