Mailmerge in ASP

T

Tapi

I have an ASP program that automatically sends text by email to customers. I
would now like to improve it so that I can collect all the email text in a
mail merge document and have the possibility of it by post.

What's the best solution to mailmerge such info in ASP?

Where does the mailmerge document originate? Is it a word doc? Is it
the same format every time?

If I were doing this, I would give whoever sends the emails out a form
to type in their message and create a message using that.

The mail merge infor is stored ina a database as text. The program has to
print this information in word so that the user has the possibility of
editing it further if need be. The information to be printed depends on the
business rules and is not always the same.

Does this have to be ASP? Word macros/VBA would handle this directly.
Otherwise you're likely going to need to either send an XML of the
merge info and use a Word doc on the client side to merge it, or
you'll need to create a RTF doc. See:
