mail merge

[lexpression]

I'm trying to get filmaker pro to mail merge into my word (windows) document. I've gotten all the odbc set up done but can only merge in 5 fields. I need to merge in 80plus. What am I doing wrong.

1) In stead of using ODBC you can try to export your data to Merge Files (*.mer) format and use this file to merge it with your Word Document (the easy way).

- Or

2) you can use DDE to send your data to Word directly and run VBScript to put it at the right place (total control).

- Or

3) you can use WSH (ActiveX-Automation) to send data to Word run FMPScripts from Word or run VBSript from FMP (you have to download the WSHFM_library from http://www.bellingnet.de/downloads/index.html)
