| Word Developer Reference |

Syntax
Private Sub expression_MailMergeDataSourceValidate(ByVal Doc As Document, Handled As Boolean)
expression A variable that represents an Application object that has been declared with events in a class module.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doc | Required | Document | The mail merge main document. |
| Handled | Required | Boolean | True if the add-in has handled the validation event. This is a forward-only parameter and cannot be set in code. To set this value, you must use the MailMergeDataSourceValidate2 event. |
Remarks
If you do not have address verification software installed on your computer, the MailMergeDataSourceValidate event allows you to create simple filtering routines, such as looping through records to check the postal codes and removing any that are non-U.S.

| The Handled parameter does not function correctly in this version of the event; use the MailMergeDataSourceValidate2 event. In addition, you cannot raise this event from within a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) project. This event functions correctly only in COM add-ins. For managed add-ins and external applications, use the MailMergeDataSourceValidate2 event. |
