access mail merge data from any location

shalom 3 months ago

Is there a way to set up mailmerge so that it can access the file from any locatioin? When I copy the .frm and .qpw files to another folder I have to tell the .frm file where to find the data. Both files are in the same folder. I would like to set it so it always looks for the data fine in the folder the .frm file is in. If there is a way to do this, what is the procedure?

I'm aware of the DOS . and .. commands, but I can't get it to let me replace the file address with them.

I've not seen a request for it before, but there is a new Send Feedback option in WordPerfect Office 2021 under the Help Menu for sending suggestions like this.

This is the macro command that sets up and runs a Merge.

MergeRun (FormFileType: FormFile!; FormFile: "F:\examples\merge\date.frm"; DataFileType: DataFile!; DataFile: "F:\examples\merge\date.dat"; OutputFileType: ToCurrentDoc!)

Other macro commands can identify the folder and name of the current file or enable you to specify a folder and filename/s.
Then the macro could modify the command above to change the choice of merge folders and files.
