I am using a Word document (.doc) with merge fields in it, which is opened from Access 2000. When the document opens it retrieves the merge data from a text file and displays it in the correct fields, I then have to select “merge to new document” to actually lock the data so that the merged data can be correctly saved. If I don’t do this then the data gets overwritten with whatever is in the text file the next time it is opened.
I just wondered if there was a way to make the merge happen automatically when the document is opened? I’m sure it used to do it in Word 97 but can’t seem to do it in Word 2K.

Maybe, but the only Macro's I am capable of doing (for now!!) need a keypress sequence or the likes to trigger it, I am looking for a way to do it automatically when the program is opened, even better if it only leaves the new document open.
