Hi Mark,

"However, I need to update a database for each record that is "mailmerged"."
Could you be so kind to tell me more detailed inforamtion regarding what
you are going to do? Appreciate in advance!

For performing the Event sink with Office application in VB.net, I'd
suggest this kb article will provide some assistance for you.  
302816 How To Handle Events for Microsoft Word Using Microsoft Visual Basic
.NET
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=302816

In addition, there are two events from Publisher regarding the Mailmerge
record:   MailMergeBeforeRecordMerge  and  MailMergeAfterRecordMerge Event.
If they are fit for your scenario, you can sink them and perform the
corresponding operation.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any question.

Best Regards,
