MAIL MERGE NOT WORKING!!!!!!!

[T3E]

Hi i have followed the step by step mail merge in access n word and i have
created a command button which has a hyperlink address as the saved mail
merge document but i want the record in that form which is being currently
viewed to be the details on the word mail merge but what i get instead is a
saved mail merge of one specific record and i am unable to choose the
recipient, the recipient which was initially saved when creating the mail
merge preview is the one displayed and this is no use to me if i need to mail
to a different recipient. thank you

I have a nice working sample that does a merge of the current record to
word.

The sample I have can be found here:
http://www.members.shaw.ca/AlbertKallal/msaccess/msaccess.html

What is nice/interesting about my sample is that is specially designed to
enable ANY form with ONE LINE of code....

Thus, each time you build a new form, you can word merge enable it with
great ease.

Make sure you read the instructions from above, and you should eventually
get to the follwoing page
http://www.members.shaw.ca/AlbertKallal/wordmerge/page2.html


Note that the merge can also use a query, and thus you don't have to merge
just "one" record..

After the merge occurs, you get a plain document WITHOUT any merge fields,
and this allows the end user to save, edit, or even email the document
(since the merge fields are gone after the merge occurs).

Give the above a try.

greatful if you can give me instructions which are bit more understandable! n
