I am activating a mail of a form letter which is called by VFP after a selection routine on a table creates the merge .dbf. I have gotten this far and cannot figure out the syntax for the rest.

oWord=createobject("word.basic")
oWord.appshow
oWord.fileopen("form.doc")

I then want to just tell it to mail merge to a new document and let the user take over from there. The command I tried (in additions to variations thereof) was:

oWord.MailMerge.MailMergeDestination=0 (what I understand tells it to merge to a new document.)

I get a message back saying:

Member MAILMERGE does not evaluate to an object. I have checked the Visual Basic Editor for Word and it provides no clues. Does anyone know the secret "word" that gets me past this?

TIA

Bill
