Default How do I run the Mail Merge process from a Command Button?

Using Access 2002 on WinXP.
========================
I found a neat idea on a downloadable DB (clcontact2K.mdb from AAD
Consulting) for a Mail Merge run from a SwitchBoard. I can see how it is
called, and (mostly) understand the code in the basUtility module to run it.
My problem is this: I have a free DB I'm working on to handle Donor
Management for our non-profit org. The Switchboard in it was created on a
form rather than with the SwitchBoard Manager. So ... what do I put in the
"OnClick" part of Properties to call the Public Function?

Many TIA,

Put:

= FunctionName()

including the equal sign.
