do you have any examples for just dot net not c++

ok i am not sure if a mail merge is what i want. what i want is in my app to have a textbox with a persons info.

example:

Thank you for trying our sofware [name] we hope you enjoyed our software

[name] would be a field from my database but i want the message editable so it can be changed at run time

[Phil Weber]

That example is in .NET (C#), not C++.

If you want this setup as a word document, you can use a Bookmark to place the name which you would retrieve from your database via a query.

Try these; I found them by Googling for "vb word mail merge bookmark":
