Default Use different mail merge list 'on the fly'

Hi all.

Just registered on the forum to ask for some help.

I am not an expert with mail merge.

I was wondering if there is any way as to dynamically open a merge word document but pass ot it a different filename of the mailing list.
Perhaps by creating a 'special. Mail merge document that supports this, or even by command li e passing arguments.

So for example if I created a mail merge document a.docx that reads from a text file data named t. Txt, is there a way I could open the merge document, passing to it a different text file as a list such as b.txt???

I am aiming to call the appropriate mail merge document and the 'correct' mailing list from an application in oracle forms 12.

I know I.an get around this by creating the mail merge document to read from a static mailing list name, then through the application. To copy and rename the new mailing list to the location/name of the original mailing list but I would like to bear if there is a way to dynamically pass a different mailing list.

Thank you,

Giorkos
