Hey All;
I was wondering if anyone has ever solved this issue. I am looking to enhance the prinitng functionality of AREV. The easist way I though to accomplish this was to create a file and use word to perform the printing. I use the mail merge function in word, and have macros running to print the documents. I can not however, use AREV to branch to word and return to AREV. Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this.
thanks – rr

Have you tried: SUSPEND C:\xxx\WINWORD.EXE filer.TXT ?
Replace the first parameter with the exact Winword pathname and the second with the textfile holding the merge details.

PCPerforming a "START docname.doc" should do the trick, provided the extention *.doc is registered to Word. Your macro should be linked to the calling document. A tab or CSV ASCII file can be linked to the merge document so you do not have to pass the name of this file.
START.EXE is located in the Win9x Command directory. I don't recall where in WinNT/2000.
Do a "START /?" for various options.
