Hi

I am getting this error code '5535' while running a vb macro to do a mail
merge in word 2007, I don't get it when I run the same macro through word
2002(xp) or 2000

can any one explain what this error code means

thanks very much

Beyond the fact that it means
"Application-defined or object-defined error"
it's difficult to say without knowing what your code is doing.

Is your code trying to do an OpenDataSource, or access the MailMerge object
or its DataSource property? Or what?

Sorry

I think I have found the problem

it was the encoding of the text if I open the datasource as 'windows
default' I get the error when it try's to do the mail merge

if I open the text datasource as Unicode utf8 it works fine

there was some German characters in the text

thanks for the input though
