Simple merge -need of passing array when the .dotx contains all the necessary information?

Trial version at the moment
Using asp.net 2010 (vb for coding + devexpress).
I have a preset word document in .dotx format which contains fields which come from an mdb access 2007 query, no parameters:
Investor Number: «InvestorNumber»
«NameofInvestor»
«TheAddress»
«PostCode»
In your example it seems one has to send an array of fields and values and I cannot understand this. I just want to merge and create those documents in a specific folder so they can be emailed.
I also cannot see any catalogue of the documents that have been merged, though this is ok as I can use the contents of the folder just populated.
So my questions are:
- if the word document is a template (dotx) and everything is set-up do I still need to send the array, and if so why? since I am just executing a dotx word document
- can I tell it where to store those merge documents?
- does it produces a catalogue of the documents which have been merged
Thank you

Hi
Thanks for your request.

  1. You do not need to pass arrays, you can use any data source supported by Aspose.Words for mail merge:
    https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/types-of-mail-merge-operations/
    Since in your case data are stored in mdb, I think, IDataReader or DataTable would be the best options.

  2. Sure, you can save the output document where you need:

  3. Unfortunately, I am not sure what you mean. Could you please clarify?

Best regards,
