WD: MailMergeReset Generates WordBasic Error 509 |
Q109835
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 7.0, 7.0a
- Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 6.0, 6.0.1
SYMPTOMS
The WordBasic macro command MailMergeReset generates the following error message when executed in a document that is not formatted for a mail merge:
Word 7.x
The MailMergeReset command is not available because the document is not a mail merge main document.
Word 6.x and Earlier
Word Basic Err = 509
CAUSE
The MailMergeReset command is not available because the document is not a valid mail merge main document.
RESOLUTION
Use the MailMergeState() command as demonstrated in the following macro to determine if the current document is a mail merge main document, then run the MailMergeRest command based on the results.
Sub MAIN If MailMergeState(0) = 2 Then MailMergeReset End Sub
MORE INFORMATION
This behavior is different from that of Word 2.x. The Word 2.x macro language allows the command FilePrintMergeReset to run in a normal document without generating any error messages. Word 6.x converts the FilePrintMergeReset command to MailMergeReset.
