Word Mailmerge

[Brian Henry]

Is there any quick way to create a mail merge listing from VB.NET in word. I
have a dataset full of addresses and names that I need to create labels for
and would like to send that data to word so the user could work with it
there. thanks!

THis article is a good start, but how would you use an external datasource,
like an Oracle database?

Arne,

Thanks for the suggestion, but this does not do what I'm looking for. This
article creates a data document inline in the code. I'm looking for a
resource that helps you connect to an Oracle data source.
