You cannot create bookmarks yourself, they're driver-provided. If you have a result set which supports the XRowLocate interface, you can collect bookmarks for the records you're interested in. By definition, those bookmarks are interchangeable insofar as the given result set, and every "dependent" result set created via XResultSetAccess understand those bookmarks the same way: using moveToBookmark with one of those sets is to guaranteed to move to the exact same record. Note that the result set restriction is meant serious: You cannot expect bookmarks from different result sets (e.g. two css.sdb.RowSet instances created independently, but working on the same table) to be interchangeable. By chance, they probably will be, but this isn't guaranteed. As a consequence, using the Selection property at the MailMerge service does only make sense if at the same time, you also provide the ResultSet property. Note however that you do not necessarily need to specify the "Selection" in the mail merge service. It's just *one* way to specify which records should be included. If you're not using a ready-made ResultSet to pass it to the MailMerge service, but the DataSourceName/Command/CommandType properties, then it might be an alternative to select the desired records via the Filter property. For instance, adding a Filter "Identifier" LIKE 'BOR%' would, in the pre-installed Bibliography database, limit the mail merge to those records whose Identifier starts with BOR.
