Hi all,
I'm mostly an access guy, so I'm not unfamiliar with vba (access vba,
anyway)...
I think I need to automate a word mail merge from Excel. What I need to do
is check (or filter) a list in version 2003 for no entries in a date column.
For those records that have no entries in the date column, I need to merge
those into a word document and then add today's date (Date()) as the column
value to those records. I want to print the word document, but most likely
I'd be just as happy if not more happy to do that manually once the merge has
been completed.
Does that sound like working from excel is the way to go, maybe utilizing an
already setup mail merge file in word? Could I (in vba) filter the records,
run the merge, and then append the date values from within excel? Can anyone
point me to some code to start me out?
Any direction would be greatly appreciated. I've automated exel and word
from access, but never word from excel, and I'm not even sure what I'm asking
is feasible.
Thanks,
CW
