brzfan2 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I have a database where receipts need to be printed. The receipt is in the form of a letter. I currently have the letter in a layout in Filemaker. My question is can the information for the receipt be merged with a letter in Word and if so how difficult is it?

Vaughan Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 No need to merge with Word. Create the latter as a layout in FMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 If this is Windows only then there two ways of doing it: - set up your FM database as an ODBC data source and connect to it from inside Word - or have FM output the data as a text file and call a merging VBA macro (you'd need to write that one) through a FM Send Message (6) or Send Event (7) script step - variation on #2: if you don't like to have VBA code embedded in your Word documents you can have the code in a VBscript.
