Mail merge from new Contacts folder - error message: can't find ob
I made a couple of new Contact folders, and I want to print labels of all the
contacts in one of them. However, when I choose the Contacts folder (during the mail merge wizard) as the source, I get an error message "Microsoft Office Access database engine could not find the object." What can I do to correct this? Thank you for your help. |

Mail merge from new Contacts folder - error message: can't find ob
Starting the merge from Outlook would obviate problems like this. From your
vague description I can only guess you failed to enable these Contacts Folders from displaying in your Outlook Address Book Service. Post precise details if that is not the case. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "jviren" wrote in message ...

Mail merge from new Contacts folder - error message: can't fin
Hi, Russ,
Thanks for your help. No, I didn't do anything except create the folders. I didn't realize I had to do something else (since I've added them before and didn't do anything). If you could let me know what to do to remedy this, I'd appreciate it. BTW, I did merge the addresses from Outlook, after I tried it from Word several times, and it did work. However, might there be times that I would want to originate from Word? If so, I'd appreciate your help. Also, another question that always confuses me with a mail merge. When I choose to edit, a new document opens, but then I never know what to do with the two documents from there. What do I do when I get the second document edited properly? Thanks!

Enable each folder as an email address book in its properties.
Part 2 is too vague. Answer would depend on what type of merge you are performing and with what steps. Post those to the mail merge group. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "jviren" wrote in message ... Hi, Russ, Thanks for your help. No, I didn't do anything except create the folders.
