Office XP Header MailMerge VB6

Can I automate Header Mail Merge using VB6 in office XP?

I updated user from Word2000 to WordXP and now the page header shows the
mailmerge fieldname instead of the data. MailMergeFieldName But the
page number is still working.

Help anyone??

Thank You!

Hi, Peter,

Thank you VERY much for your info! Wow! It worked! It worked if I
menually do the steps as the article described. Now I know what is causing
the problem.

My users would like me to have an automated report. They basically wants
to click a button from VB and have the word reports ready for them. In the
VB program, there are about 30 more reports.

My mail merge is quite complex. VB created several Temp Doc from
mailmerge template and finally copy and paste it together into another doc.
I will keep looking into code for fix since now I know what is causing the
problem.

If you have other sugestions, please let me know!

Thank you very much!

Not sure what else you need to fix but if the documents are user-defined
maybe you will have to examine them in code before the merge, and if you
don't like having loads of unnecessary section breaks in the output you
might be able to remove them programmatically. (I haven't tried.)
