seperate files from merge and naming them

Hello to you all.
I am currently busy with something quite hard on my work.
I made a regular Mailmerge works fine. But now i want the merge to be
saved in different files, not 1 large file.
I used this code to accomplish this:


Sub BreakOnPage()
' Used to set criteria for moving through the document by page.
Application.Browser.Target = wdBrowsePage

For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Number of
Pages")

'Select and copy the text to the clipboard.
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\page").Range.Copy

' Open new document to paste the content of the clipboard
into.
Documents.Add
Selection.Paste
' Removes the break that is copied at the end of the page, if any.
Selection.TypeBackspace
ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\"
DocNum = DocNum + 1
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="test_" & DocNum & ".doc"
ActiveDocument.Close

' Move the selection to the next page in the document.
Application.Browser.Next
Next i
ActiveDocument.Close savechanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
End Sub


Works fine, when running this code it makes seperate files named
test1.doc, test2.doc etc. etc.

Now comes the hard thing, i want the filename to excist in 2 things: 1
the username of the person (which is supplied from the sourcefile) and
2nd the application name (which is also supplied from the sourcefile).


Doing this should make names like:

Robbert Windows xp.doc

So who knows what code to use???

PLS HELP ME OUT!!!

Here's a method that I have used that involves creating a separate
catalog type mailmerge maindocument which creates a word document containing
a table in each row of which would be your data from the database that you
want to use as the filename.

You first execute that mailmerge, then save that file and close it. Then
execute the mailmerge that you want to create the separate files from and
with the
result of that on the screen, run a macro containing the following code
and when the File open dialog appears, select the file containing the table
created by the first mailmerge

' Throw Away Macro created by Doug Robbins
'
Dim Source As Document, oblist As Document, DocName As Range, DocumentName
As String
Dim i As Long, doctext As Range, target As Document
Set Source = ActiveDocument
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen)
.Show
End With
Set oblist = ActiveDocument
Counter = 1
For i = 1 To oblist.Tables(1).Rows.Count
Set DocName = oblist.Tables(1).Cell(i, 1).Range
DocName.End = DocName.End - 1

'Change the path in the following command to suit where you want to save
the documents.
DocumentName = "I:\WorkArea\Documentum\" & DocName.Text
Set doctext = Source.Sections(i).Range
doctext.End = doctext.End - 1
Set target = Documents.Add
target.Range.FormattedText = doctext
target.SaveAs FileName:=DocumentName
target.Close
Next i
