No, that's not what's happening. The macro I provided retains all of the mergefields and other content of the document from which it is run. It doesn't simply open a new document. Rather, using the document containing the code, it executes the mailmerge using that document and its mergefields and
that process generates a new document containing the mailmerge output.

I deleted the .Destination and it works.

Not really; all you've done is killed off the output, which Word will now ask you to specify.

Another issue is that it is asking me twice to choose my list from excel before moving on.
|
To fix that, delete:
.OpenDataSource sPath
Working through the dialog already connects once, so there's no need to do it again. My bad.

I also have created a form with a button attached to the code below. How do I get the form to pop up with the Word Document so that I can run the code below?

Without knowing what kind of button, or how you propose to hide it when the output is generated, I can't really say. However, for a more automated approach, move the code to the document's 'ThisDocument' code module and rename it:
Private Sub Document_Open()
