TransferText to mailmerge file doesn't work

[jane]

I want to create a word doc file so I have the following
line of code:

DoCmd.TransferText
acExportMerge, , "DonationAckMergeFile", "c:\data\test.doc"
, True

This always returns the error "Cannot update. Database or
Object is readonly". When I change the output
from 'Text.doc' to 'text.txt' I have no problems, but it's
creating a text file, not a word file.

How can I create the output in a word document format?

Yes, in a moment of brilliance, MS decided that MailMerge
files can't be called .doc, or .rtf (in spite of the fact
that they are RTF word documents....).

The easy solution is just call the file .txt

Take a look at a my read to go word merge code.

It allows you to word enable any access for with one line of code.

Try it...you will like it...
