Failing Mail Merge Automation

I've been trying to produce a mail merge that includes a chart from Excel
that must be recalculated & updated for each recipient of the merge. I've
been trying to use the approach described in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285333, understanding that I have to adapt
some pieces for Office 2007.

None of my code appears to be accessed during the mail merge.
I recieved syntax errors and the like as I was massaging the code for my
custom methods, but no stops at breakpoints (no execution at all apparently,
since even the "stop" command fails to halt execution).

I have software development experience, but very limited VB exposure, so I'm
likely doing something (or failing to do something) extremely basic in
setup...

I appreciate any help,
F/C

See the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm

If you want to create the attachments by a mailmerge operation, see the
"Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at:

http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm

If you are using Word XP or later, the "Add-in to Merge Letters to Separate
Files" that I have written and that can be downloaded from that site will
allow you to create each letter as a separate file with a filename taken
from a field in the data source with a minimum of fuss.
