Here is an example of a working solution that you could compare your code to:

My thought would be that either you aren't bringing the email address of the user to send to into the document or that Word does not know who to send email out as. Try doing the merge to email manually and see if it works.

Hey Sumit

Yup, you will need to provide the TO email address during mail merge to send email. You can pass the email address to "MailAddressFieldName" parameter by equating to the column name containing email addresses with the datasource binded to mail merge doc.

Sample code below.

VB

With wrdApp.ActiveDocument.MailMerge
     .Destination = oWord.WdMailMergeDestination.wdSendToEmail
     .MailFormat = oWord.WdMailMergeMailFormat.wdMailFormatHTML
     .MailSubject = &quot;Test mail &quot;
     .MailAddressFieldName = &quot;Email_Address&quot;
     .MailAsAttachment = False
     .Execute(Pause:=False)
 End With

Hope it helps.
