Hello!
I had a program working in Word 2000 where I sent Word a
text file for it's mailmerge outside of the program. I
then could open the Word document by right-clicking on the
Word document and then clicking "Print". (This could be
automated from another program). When the Word document
would open, it would update itself from the text file and
then print the resultant file with the new data. The
instance of Word would then close.
Now, with Word 2003, I can't seem to get this to happen.
For some reason Word does not automatically update itself
with the contents of the new mailmerge data. It will
print the old data. However, when Word closes and opens
again the new data is printed (if you see what I mean).
My question is: Am I doing something wrong, is Word
corrupt, or is this just new security? Is there a
workaround for this?
Thanks,
Charlie
