Public Sub CreateHeaderSource (Name As String, Optional ByRef PasswordDocument As Object, Optional ByRef WritePasswordDocument As Object, Optional ByRef HeaderRecord As Object)

Parameters

Name: String

Required String. The path and file name for the new header source.

PasswordDocument: Object

Optional Object. The password required to open the new header source.

WritePasswordDocument: Object

Optional Object. The password required to save changes to the new header source.

HeaderRecord: Object

Optional Object. A string that specifies the field names for the header record. If this argument is omitted, the standard header record is used: "Title, FirstName, LastName, JobTitle, Company, Address1, Address2, City, State, PostalCode, Country, HomePhone, WorkPhone." To separate field names in Windows, use the list separator specified in Regional Settings in Control Panel.

Remarks

This method attaches the new header source to the specified document, which becomes a main document if it's not one already.

The new header source uses a table to arrange mail merge field names.

Avoid using hard-coded passwords in your applications. If a password is required in a procedure, request the password from the user, store it in a variable, and then use the variable in your code.
