   Really not too sure what I am doing.  I would like to launch MS Word from   
   VB6 so that it will mail- merge with a comma delimited text file  called   
   Data.txt.  The code below launches MS Word but how to invoke the merge from   
   VB .. don't know   
      
      
      
   Many thanks Geoff

   'Load the mail merge document as an object   
      
   Dim objWord As Object   
      
      Set objWord = GetObject("E:\Word\VB\Merge.doc")   
      
      
   'Make Word visible   
      
      objWord.Application.Visible = True
