Hi Francois.

First you have to RUN wordperfect from VFP by using the RUN command. Then open a DDE channel using the following:

chan = DDEInitiate("WpWin60_Macros", "Commands")

To find out exactly the syntax to use for doing your merge printing, record a macro in Word Perfect. Then you can edit the macro and this will tell you what to to in the DDEExececute.

Best Regards.
