Hi guys: I have a problem that I havent been able to resolve. Basically, I have an ASP.NET application that the users will use to select records and then do a mail merge. My code is able to do the merge, but the problem is that the mailmerge toolbox in MS Word is disabled (grayed out). I need this to be enabled because I want to give the users the ability to add/remove any fields from the document. It would be great if someone can help me in this issue. By the way, I am using MS Word 2003 and running XP.
Thanks.
Here is the code that I am using:
ApplicationClass myWordApp = new ApplicationClass(); // our application
Document myWordDoc = new Document(); // our document
object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value; // our 'void' value
object filename = "C:/sample_merge_doc.doc";
object destination = "C:/MyNewDocument.doc"; // our target filename
object notTrue = false; // our boolean false
myWordApp.Visible =
false; // tell word not to show itself so that we can do everything in the background
myWordDoc = myWordApp.Documents.Add(
ref filename, ref missing,ref missing,ref missing);object oconn = "DSN=dsnName;uid=uname;pwd=passwd;";
Object oFileFormat = System.Type.Missing;Object oMissing = System.Type.Missing;
Object oFalse = false;Object oTrue = true;
Object oSubType = System.Type.Missing;
string dsName = null;myWordDoc.MailMerge.OpenDataSource(dsName, ref oFileFormat, ref oMissing, ref oTrue, ref oMissing,
ref oFalse, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oTrue,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oconn, ref query, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oSubType);
myWordDoc.MailMerge.Execute(
ref oFalse);
myWordApp.Visible = true;
