Hi

[Quoted] [Quoted] I am trying to create some mail merge letters in MS Word & need to find out if there is any easy way to do this. Ideally we would like to create the mail merge letters automatically without the user seeing any of the nasty stuff.

At the moment, I am doing a mail merge by creating a text file from Oracle & then opening Word & using an Autonew Word macro to open up the text file & do the merge. This is fine when the text files etc are stored locally, but now I am having to create multiple letters on a shared drive & will have problems with file naming if I use the same approach. Does anyone have any ideas ?? Are there any Microsoft or Oracle built-in tools that allow mail merging??

Thanks in advance
