Merging Data into Word Document or Word RTF

[George1111]

I would like to be able to merge data into a Word/RTF document WITHOUT WORD popping up every time I do this - then I would like to print the resultant Document, again, WITHOUT word popping up.

Is this possible ?

I understand the other way (create object word.app) which causes word to pop up, but this creates a problem for the person using the computer when you have a "server" style program doing the merging and printing (being shared by the whole office).

Geroge,

Here's a sample of printing a Word doc like you want...

Sub printdoc()
    Dim doc As Document
    
    fname = "C:\Documents and Settings\metzgerc\My Documents\LineOfBalance\wmtlob1_mas.doc"
    Set doc = GetObject(fname, "Word.Document")
    doc.PrintOut
    doc.Close
    Set doc = Nothing
End Sub

Hope this helps
