[python-win32] OpenDataSource failed inms-word-mail-merge-automation

[Hsu. Victor (GSM)]

Hi Tim,

        I fixed it by doing some modification.

data_source_name = os.path.abspath('recipient.csv')
mm.OpenDataSource(data_source_name)

And the "Word Merge To Document" function works now.
However, my intention is to send an email.  So I change some setting,

#send the merge result to Email
mm.Destination = win32com.client.constants.wdSendToEmail
#send the merge result to document
#mm.Destination = win32com.client.constants.wdSendToNewDocument
mm.MailSubject = "This is a test mail from Python Win32---"+time.strftime('%Y_%m_%d')

but now, it failed to run again.

-2146823114 in hex is 800A1436, which is "this file could not be found".

I see that you have misspelled "recipient".  Could that be the root cause?
