Hi,

Opening the Word file itself is easy; the harder part will be using the
array as input for the table.

Here's what I do: I need to select random accounts and place the current
receivable balances for those accounts into a Word merge letter which
displays each selected account and that account's balances. I use a sql
server sp to zap and then create a table, containing the data I need - name,
account #, 0-30 days, 31-60 days, etc. Then I created the Word doc and
created a macro that loads that table into a table that displays as
necessary, and then of course merges so that each customer has a page. When
I run the routine, I do the sp rebuild as I mentioned above and then I call
the Word doc and macro, thus:
Case "welcome.doc"

macroname_ = "/mwelcome"

longstringname_ = globalmsopath & "\winword.exe " & "f:\imcapps\docs\" &
mergeletterbox.Text & " " & macroname_

Shell(longstringname_, AppWinStyle.NormalFocus, False, -1)

Now this opens the Word doc but not into a dialog box, as you wish. I'm
pretty sure I could do that also, by calling it from the dialog box and
constraining Word and a child of that dialog box (but I haven't tried that).

HTH,
