Unless you cancel out of that, it prints your mailmerge main document. That explains why you're getting a file with the fieldnames being printed. In any event, you don't need that line, because the rest of the macro sends the actual mailmerge output to the printer.

Finally, given that you're using a macro to drive the process, there's no need for your mailmerge main document to be anything other than a normal document (i.e. one that wouldn't give the SQL prompt when you open it).
