Merge with Word

message from Maxine on 18 May 2004
Access 2K to Word 2K. Using a command button to open a
word merge document whose record source is an Access
query. How can I prevent the database from opening twice?

Thanks in advance.

This is a know bug/problem.

However, I also have a nice working sample of how to do a word merge from a
ms-access form. You should likely give my sample a try (as it is ready to
go..and is DESIGNED to be used with your application). It is bug proof
also..and even works if you are using a secured ms-access file. Check it out
