Try:

    Dim strWorkbookName As String
    strWorkbookName = ThisWorkbook.FullName
    Dim wdapp As New Word.Application
    Dim wddoc As Word.Document
    With wdapp
        'Disable alerts to prevent an SQL prompt
        .DisplayAlerts = wdAlertsNone
        'Open the mailmerge main document
        Set wddoc = .Documents.Open(ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Mail Merge Main Document.docx", _
            ConfirmConversions:=False, ReadOnly:=True, AddToRecentfiles:=False)
        With wddoc
            .ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdNormalView
            With .MailMerge
                'Define the mailmerge type
                .MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters
                'Connect to the data source
                .OpenDataSource Name:=strWorkbookName, ReadOnly:=True, _
                  AddToRecentFiles:=False, LinkToSource:=False, _
                  Connection:="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" & _

Thank you

I will give that a go

Just out of curiosity, what was causing that error for freezing up and what changes made to the code should prevent that?

and now when ever i open up the Word document, i get this message "Opening the document will run the SQL command, SELECT * FROM ADDRESS, do you want to continue. I dont have sheet called Address. Just a named range for the data called address which i can delete.

Should this message keep popping up?

Ps have I set up the word document correctly and say I wanted an ENVELOPE OR LABEL structure, would you advise to set up another 2 documents with the correct layout (so 3 template documents) if you like
Letter
Envelope
Label

And then in the code have a msgbox to say what format I would like and then based on that, change the correct document to open and change format to based on which 1 I selected. Is that the best way to go about it?

Again many many thanks
