MailMerge.EditDataSource Method

  • 项目
Word Developer Reference

Opens or switches to the mail merge data source.

Syntax

expression.EditDataSource

expression   Required. A variable that represents a MailMerge object.

Remarks

If the data source is a Microsoft Office Word document, this method opens the data source (or activates the data source if it is already open).

If Word is accessing the data through dynamic data exchange (DDE)—using an application such as Microsoft Office Excel or Microsoft Office Access—this method displays the data source in that application.

Security  Dynamic data exchange (DDE) is an older technology that is not secure. If possible, use a more secure alternative to DDE, such as object linking and embedding (OLE).

If Word is accessing the data through open database connectivity (ODBC), this method displays the data in a Word document. Note that, if Microsoft Query is installed, a message appears providing the option to display Microsoft Query instead of converting data.

Example

This example opens or activates the data source attached to the document named "Sales.doc."

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Documents("Sales.doc").MailMerge.EditDataSource

This example opens or activates the attached data source if the data source is a Word document.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Dim dsMain As MailMergeDataSource

Set dsMain = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource
If dsMain.Type = wdMergeInfoFromWord Then
ActiveDocument.MailMerge.EditDataSource
End If
