>Yes, that is all in tact. It's almost like Word VBA has it's own version of SET SAFETY but I've not been successful in locating where one might turn this off. I can't help but wonder if the ConfirmConversions:= parameter is being ignored (I have it set to False). This is the only one that even remotely looks like it might have an impact on my problem.

Final bit of code to actually do the merge (probably similar to yours!)

WITH loWord.ActiveDocument.MailMerge
	IF .State = wdMainAndDataSource
		.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
		.Execute
	ENDIF
