Thanks for the heads up, but unfortunately it looks very similar to the HotDocs solution that we a replacing. Yes, I can bolt it into a >net app, but the pricing for this seems quite excessive. > Alternatively: Inside MS Word, (in word 2002, not earlier) you have events > which fire before, during and after mailmerging, and with the macros in Word > you can do quite a lot. We have looked at the Word object, but the end users need to have MS Word installed, which is something that we cannot guarantee or insist on. I have come across some third party versions of the MS Word objects, but none of them seem to have the flexibility we require on the mailmerge side of things. This is why we are now considering writing our own module. Any other suggestions would be gratefully appreciated! -- Cheers, Julian Voelcker The Virtual World (UK) Limited Cirencester, United Kingdom =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor� http://www.develop.com NEW!
