RunApp command loads Word & starts 2nd occurrance of database

[Karen]

When I use the RunApp command to start a Microsoft Word
Mail Merge a second copy of the Microsoft Access database
loads. It remains open even after I close the Microsoft
Word Mail Merge document & application.

Is there any way to prevent the second version of the
application database from loading or to have it close
automatically when MS Word closes?

Thanks

Here is a great mailmerge DB from Albert Kallal
Mail merge
http://www.attcanada.net/~kallal.msn/msaccess/msaccess.html

I incorporated Albert's code with modifications into my
access databases. My users love it.

Thanks for the interesting website.

However in my situation my users click the button for
merge & the Microsoft word document is automatically
displayed with records matching a particular criteria
linked to it. I want to keep the procedure the same I
just want to prevent the 2nd occurrance of Access from
loading. Any ideas?

Thanks.
