These examples were used in the Microsoft Tech*Ed session at Florida
in March 1993 called:

"Building DDE and OLE Applications Using Microsoft Access"
Presented by: Gary Yukish, Microsoft Product Support Services

Please distribute the examples and information as much as you like.
But please don't distribute modified copies.  It is hard enough
to figure out why I did something one way and not another.

You should have 5 files:

DDEMERGE DOC      2488 04-13-93  10:05a  Word Print Merge Template
DOCWATCH MDB   1081344 04-13-93   9:57a  Document Manager
FAXDDE   MDB    360448 04-13-93  10:36a  Sample DDE to Word and WinFAX Pro 3.0
PRINTMRG DOC      2540 04-13-93  10:23a  Word Print Merge Template
README   TXT      2378 04-13-93  10:36a  This File....        


Please feel free to comment on these files.  I may try to improve
parts of them.  The examples in FAXDDE.MDB are actually documented
in one of the Word documents contained in the DOCWATCH.MDB.

I hope that this information is helpful to you.

Notes:

How to use FAXDDE.MDB:

The FAXDDE.MDB has three examples in it.  



Sending a record to Word via DDE:

1) Make sure that the file DDEMERGE.DOC is in the current directory
2) Open the Form titled Customers
3) Select the record that you want to print
4) Click on the button Print Letter.

The Customer form requires that the document DDEMERGE.DOC reside in the
current directory.  You can change the function Initiate_Word() in the module
called Print Merge to change the document that you want to merge to.



Faxing a Report through WinFax Pro 3.0:

Double Click on the Macro called Fax Report.
This macro requires that the WinFax Pro drivers from Delrina software be
installed and that their DDE Server  FAXMNG.EXE be on the path.



Print Merging a table of information from Word for Windows:

In the declarations section of the Module titled Print Merge, you will find
some Word Basic code.  You can copy this over to a Word Basic Macro, remove
the REM statements and run the code.  This was inserted as a basic example
about how to perform a print merge from Word.

The Word for Windows Group probably has some better examples on this.
