Adding CommandBarControls in VBA with Word

[Tim Davies]

Hi All

I'm automating showing the "Mail Merge" menu and if it is nor visible then
adding the "Insert Merge Field" pop up.

I have mastered showing the command bar but I am having problems with
getting the pop up to work.

I've added the pop up but there ar no fields in the list.

Having recorded a macro to check what is happening I get:

Sub Macro2()
'
' Macro2 Macro
' Macro recorded 13/04/2005 by Tim Davies
'
CommandBars("Mail Merge").Controls.Add Type:=msoControlPopup, ID:= 30076
End Sub

But if I remove the pop up and run the macro it is added but does not list
the field in the merge data source.

Any pointers would be great.

Cheers

Ah - not even a PS.

K, you have the Mail merge object to play with directly in that case.
It is quite powerful, use the object explorer or the auto-complete to
check out the multitude of properties and methods.
