Printing WORD docs from a form
I have a button on a form and I want it to print a Word mail merge document
that contains data from the database that is linked to my application.
I'm using the following code but always get a 5922 error - Word can't
open the source... All variable names contain valid data, so that's NOT
the problem.
With appWord
.Visible = True
.Documents.Open pathdocname
With .ActiveDocument.MailMerge
.MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters
strConnection = "DSN=MS Access Databases;" _
& "DBQ=" & strFileName _
& "FIL=RedISAM;"
.OpenDataSource Name:=strFileName, LinkToSource:=True,
ReadOnly:=True, _
Connection:=strConnection, _
SQLStatement:="SELECT * FROM People WHERE !ContactID =
People.ContactID"
End With
Even if I take out the WHERE clause, it doesn't work. It just won't
connect.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???
Thanks folks...

How do you select a specific Visio tab when 'Inserting Object' into Word doc?
I am inserting an object (Visio diagram) in my Word document so that updates to the Visio diagram are automatically reflected in the Word doc. I clicked Insert > Object > Link to File, and used it as a workaround to the bug found when you copy the Visio diagram by clicking Edit > Paste Special > Paste Link (bug is found if the Visio diagram is on a file share; you can't insert it - the option for Paste Link is grayed out).

Form problems in a table with merged cells

XML not opening in Word 2003 when requested from IE 6
