hi,

I'm attempting to create a mail merge between Word and an Oracle Form. The form letter will exist in Word, but the data source will be a sql query from the database. The user will interact with a form to create a query that will generate records to be automatically merged into the Word document.

I know I could create a simple file based on the query and have the user merge that, but that isn't acceptable for this project. This needs to be completely automated -- the user shouldn't have to do the mail merge in Word at all.

Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated
