is it me or is run app a pile of crap?

[Guest]

I have a user prompted query that id like to word merge into a letter.
Ultamately id like to have a macro that would print the merged letters ask
for another prompt and then merge yet another specific letter. I cant get run
app to work at all if any one can help please let me know id be willing to
discuss this e-mail or over the phone.

I am not certain I can help on the entire process, but the runapp macro, if
you kind of go through the little Wizard with it. will ask you for the file
locate you want to open. It took me several tryies to realize that I first
had to tell the macro what software to run.

For example, I want to open and work with the data in Word, the command line
would start with WinWord.exe \\network-drive\folder\filename.doc and so
forth. That WinWord.exe makes or breaks the deal. Without it, the macro
just sits there and frustrates you into feeding the mouse to the cat.

Did this answer at least a part of your question? I haven't ever needed to
run a mail merge, so its something I don't know anything about.
