C# Word 2003 Mailmerge by DSN

Introduction<o:p>

Well most of u guys already know the basic stuff, so i go from the 'Start Word Application Class'. This code will start Word 2003, create a mailmerge document and will merge the data recieved from a DSN source to this document <o:p>

<o:p> 

The start<o:p>

Create a Word template (.dot) file with mergefields like i did. Or use a .doc file, whatever you want. My mergefields are called 'bedrijfsnaam','adres' and so on. Its dutch so forget about the names :) <o:p>

Now create the reference to Office Word 2003 v11.0 object. Now I have the code below to make things easyer.<o:p>

using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;<o:p>

Now create a User-DSN with the name 'dsn_data'. Thats what i dit so you'll be able to find the name back in the code. This connection can be to any datasource you want.<o:p>

 <o:p>

The real thing<o:p>

Now lets create the code for our application Create the definitions:<o:p>

Word.Application wrdApp;<o:p>

Word.Document oDataDoc;<o:p>

Word.MailMerge wrdMailMerge;<o:p>

Object oMissing = System.Type.Missing;<o:p>

Object oFalse = false;<o:p>

Object oTrue = true;<o:p>

Object oName = Environment.CurrentDirectory + @"\template.dot";<o:p>

Object oFileName = Environment.CurrentDirectory + @"\saved.rtf";<o:p>

Object oFileFormat = Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatRTF;<o:p>

<o:p> 

// Starting the Word Application<o:p>

wrdApp = new Word.ApplicationClass();<o:p>

wrdApp.Visible = true;<o:p>

wrdApp.WindowState = Word.WdWindowState.wdWindowStateMaximize;<o:p>
