I have a database that has various mail merge word templates that it uses. My client has just upgraded from Office XP to Office 2003. All the mail-merge templates now no longer populate with data. If you open them in Word they create the link and prompt for the value that should be in the related form and run the query no problem. When you access them from Access they don't have the data passed to them. No errors come up but they data fails to pass over. The code I am using is as follows:- Dim stDocName As String If (ChildID.Value > 0) Then stDocName = "QryLetterB" DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset rst.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection rst.CursorType = adOpenDynamic rst.LockType = adLockOptimistic rst.Open "select * from tblChild" 'Open word document Dim oApp As Object Set oApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") oApp.Visible = True oApp.documents.Add "c:\Database\Templates\Letters\Blank.dot" DoCmd.Close acForm, "FrmBlank" DoCmd.Close acQuery, "QryLetterB" Else MsgBox "Please select a child" End If What has changed in 2003 and how do I go about fixing it? Thanks
