documentproperty's disapeare when merging

[Eric van der Niet -- www.NoteTaker.nl]

Hello,

I am using Word to perform a mailmerge. BUT:
I also use some documentproperty fields in my document. I update these with
the App_MailMergeBeforeRecordMerge event. But in my result there are NO
documentproperty fields!! I can live with a conversion to plain tekst, but
the field are'nt updated either. The code:

Private Sub App_MailMergeBeforeRecordMerge(ByVal Doc As Document, Cancel As
Boolean)
ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("omschrijving").Value =
omschrijving
ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("status").Value = status
ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("account").Value = account
ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("id").Value = id
end sub

when i debug the variables are all filled in.
Can someone please help!?
