I have an application that runs several mail merges using Word97. Before I
start the merges, I turn off Word's spell/grammar checking from inside my
Access97 function (speeds up the merges considerably). Does anyone know how
to check the status of Word to determine if all of the merges are finished
from inside of Access? If I reset the Word options (spell/grammar) too soon,
the remaining merges slow down to a crawl. I'm not using DDE to run the
merge with word. I'm using ODBC, it's faster and doesn't start another
instance of Access. Thanks in advance.

Hi Dennis,

Been a while since I messed around with MailMerge, but if I remember
correctly, tracking MailMerge progress is not possible.
