OLE/ActiveX: MS-Word mail-merge macros 2004-07-02 -- Chris Rybitski Newsgroups: softvelocity.clarion.language
Arnor,
FWIW, here is a VB example of using Word automation. It's a late-bound
example, but the early-bound code is still there, just commented. HTH!
'======================================================
Public Sub DoMailMerge(ByVal psMergeDoc As String, ByVal psNewDoc As String,
ByVal psDataFile As String, ByVal pbAutoStart As Boolean, Optional ByVal
pbSuppressBlankLines As Boolean = True)
On Error Resume Next
'Early binding on MSWord is depreciated
'
' Dim loWordApp As Word.Application
' Dim loWordDoc As Word.Document
' Dim loMrgDoc As Word.Document
Dim loWordApp As Object
Dim loWordDoc As Object
Dim loMrgDoc As Object
'Set loWordApp = New Word.Application
Set loWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set loWordDoc = loWordApp.Documents.Open(psMergeDoc)
With loWordDoc.MailMerge
.MainDocumentType = 0 ' - ENUM WdMailMergeMainDocType.wdFormLetters
.OpenDataSource psDataFile, 4 ' - ENUM WdOpenFormat.wdOpenFormatText
'.SuppressBlankLines = True
.SuppressBlankLines = pbSuppressBlankLines
.Destination = 0 ' - ENUM WdMailMergeDestination.wdSendToNewDocument
.Execute Pause:=False
End With
For Each loMrgDoc In loWordApp.Documents
If loMrgDoc.Name = loWordDoc.Name Then
loWordDoc.Close SaveChanges:=False
Else
loMrgDoc.SaveAs (psNewDoc)
If pbAutoStart Then
loMrgDoc.Close SaveChanges:=True
End If
End If
Set loMrgDoc = Nothing
Next
Set loMrgDoc = Nothing
Set loWordDoc = Nothing
If pbAutoStart Then
loWordApp.Visible = True
loWordApp.Documents.Open psNewDoc
Else
loWordApp.Quit
End If
Set loWordApp = Nothing
End Sub
