(not email!) > Ok guy's, here's something that has been playing on mind now for far too long and I need to try to come up with a definitive answer of either yes it can be done or no it can't. Here's what I have been asked to do; > > We have a web based product that a number of our clients use to store information specific to them. From time to time they want to be able to use that information to produce letters. The way that this is currently done is that they download the information that they require in a comma seperated file and then use Microsoft Word to perform a mail merge using the CSV as a data source, with me so far? > > What I need to know is if it is possible, and if so how, to be able to carry out this same type of mail merge on line and then have the choice of printing or downloading the completed word documents as a file, i.e. is it possible to run the same mail nmerge process on the web server? If so can anyone point me to a source of info for this? Alternatively would anyone know of any other way to acheive this whole letter/mail merge process efficiently? > > Any advice greatly apreciated, > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:201282 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
