Run Word Mailmerge from vb6

I need to run a mailmerge in Word from VB6. My application uses an Access
database. I access the data via connection and recordset objects created in
VB6. Can I run a mailmerge using a connection and recordset created in VB6 as
the datasource for the mailmerge? If not, what would be a better way, e.g. a
query stored in Access? And does anyone have some sample code or a code
snippet that would get me started with the mailmerge? Thanks in advance for
any help.
