Definition

public void CreateHeaderSource (string Name, ref object PasswordDocument, ref object WritePasswordDocument, ref object HeaderRecord);
abstract member CreateHeaderSource : string * obj * obj * obj -> unit
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.
