Automate Mailmerge with Vb.net

[NewsBot]

Hi all,

I am attempting to automate a mailmerge (for email)*through word 2003.

I have already skimmed through the documentation here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301656/

But it seems the sample code in that documentation does a lot*stuff I shouldn't have to do. And is a bit confusing.

The document I want to use for the merge*is already created.*The that will be used are also already placed in the document.

 

With that said, all I should have to do is set a datasource to the document and execute, right?

 

This is where I run into a problem.

In the documentation above another word document was used as the datasource.

 

I would prefer to do one of these options.

 

1.Set the datasource for the mail merge to a*data set, table, or view in my application.

 

2. Set the datasource to a query already*saved in an access 2003 database. However,*the query I want to use*will change.*Is it possible to*save a query in access 2003 through vb.net?

 

Could*someone please explain how I would automate a*mailmerge with*my conditions?

 

Thanks in advanced for any help.
