I get "error opening data source" after addintg the OpenDataSource statement. The merge doc, with data source defined, is all setup already in Word 2003 and works perfectly when executed manualy through Word. That indicates that the data souce dbf is accessible and not corrupted. Not sure why I would need to open the data source anyway when automating through VFP since it happens automatically when the merge document is opened manually in Word.

Back to the original Ole Dispatch Error: "This method or property not available because the document is not a mail merge main document". I wonder if I need to specify the active document, and how to do that, before executing the merge.
