Mail Merge Macro

ch1325 · #1 06-02-2015, 08:52 AM

I'm having a very difficult time trying to create a macro that uses "Select recipients" in Mailings then selects "Use an existing list" and then points to a certain directory.

I tried record macro but that gives me nothing. So in other words I want my users to be able to just select a button and it points to a directory that contains csv files to merge the template to.

Whenever I assign this Macro to a Button in the QAT and I click it gives me "Argument Not Optional" However, If i run it in VBA it works.

Code:

Sub Merge()
'
' Merge Macro
'
'
Dialogs(wdDialogMailMergeOpenDataSource).Show
        With ActiveDocument.MailMerge
        .Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
        .SuppressBlankLines = True
        With .DataSource
            .FirstRecord = wdDefaultFirstRecord
            .LastRecord = wdDefaultLastRecord
        End With
        .Execute Pause:=False
    End With
     Documents("C:\Documents\mytemplate.docm").Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
    If Err.Number = 4160 Then
        MsgBox "The file specified is not open.", vbCritical Or vbOKOnly, _
            "File Not Open"
   End If
   On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you
