: ObjWord.Application.Visible = True
: ObjWord.MailMerge.OpenDataSource _
: Name:="C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Database Project\Database 1.mdb", _
: LinkToSource:=True, Connection:="TABLE Main_Contracts_Database", _
: SQLStatement:="SELECT * FROM [Main_Contracts_Database]"

It appears that your mail merge source is the table that you are viewing in your Access app. You are probably navigating through your complete set of records when you are viewing in the form. When you do a merge you are telling your app to merge the complete set of records there are no filters applied. Therefore you get all the records merged.
There are probably a couple of ways arround this. I think the best way would be to make a temporary recordset or table and use that as the source of the merge. Or you could apply a filter to the current recordset and then merge it. You would have to remove the filter after the merge or you will not be able to see any more records in the form.
Hope this helps
John
