I currently have a Microsoft Access Database (file format is 2007-2016) that we use to track open orders and print all the required documents. I have created a word document that pulls information from this database using MailMerge. This document works flawlessly by itself. Meaning that if I actually double click the document it opens correctly asking me if I want to pull the information from the database. The issue is that if I open it via a command button in the database I the document opens but I will not get the MailMerge dialog asking if I want to pull the information.
Here is the code I am using at the moment to open the document.
Private Sub Print_Click()
If IsNull(Me.DateShipped.Value) Then
Me.DateShipped = Date
End If
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
Dim wrdApp As Word.Application
Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document
Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wrdApp.Visible = True
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Open("F:\Database\merge\INDIVIDUAL.docx")
Set wrdApp = Nothing
Set wrdDoc = Nothing
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you
Joel
