I'm using Office 2000 SP3 and linking queries from Access to Word. I have it
setup now so from a form, a user can open the linked template with the
filters from the form applied to the linked query. My question is this, is
there anyway to automate the merge option from the dos command line, eg
"winword.exe somefile.doc -merge newfile.doc". If anyone knows of a way to
do this, it would save me with my less-than-savy users. Thanks.
