Hi, I posted this yesterday but it has not appeared yet.
Sorry if I double post. I tried posting on the Access
newsgroup without success.

I have used a hyperlink address on an Access database
command button to open a Mail Merge document. When it
opens a Web Toolbar opens also and this remains at the top
of the database window when Word is closed. The users then
have to close it manually. Is there a way to stop this
toolbar opening in the first place or if not, is there a
way to get it to close when Word is closed. Thanks, Noel
 
Thank you Jay. One more question though. Where do I put
the code - in Word or in the database? Both are accessed
over a network so I can put Macros in the database itself
but Im sure I wont be able to do that in Word.(Or do I
embed it somehow in each of the Mail Merge documents?)
Cheers, Noel
 
Hi again - I posted this separately but thought Id post
here too. Ive tried putting the suggested code in a macro
in one of my Mail Merge documents but it doesnt work. Now,
even when I take the code out, I get an annoying warning
about the macro being present and continue only if certain
its from a virus free source. I cant win here, I try to
get rid of a toolbar and now Ive got both the toolbar and
a warning message about a Macro thats no longer there. Any
ideas please? Thanks, Noel
 
Hi, Noel,

I answered your other post before I saw this one. Please try to keep all
related posts in the same thread -- it will save time for both of us.

As I said in the other answer, you should put the macro in a template, not
in the mail merge document; and you have to run it manually (from the Tools
Macro > Macros dialog) before it will have any effect.
Click to expand...

To clean out your merge document, open it in Word and use File > Save As,
change the "Save as type" box at the bottom to "Rich text format (*.rtf)",
and save to a temporary name of your choice. Close the document. Now open
the RTF file in Word, go to File > Save As again, change the type to "Word
document (*.doc)", and save to the original file name. Say yes when asked
whether to overwrite the old file. Because RTF doesn't support macros, this
process will clean the document.
 
Thanks Jay. Sorry for messing you about. This info just
what I need. Cheers, Noel
