Word 2002 Mail Merge with Access database
We just upgraded to Word 2002. A mail merge document that
used to work no longer works. It used to link to updated Access data automatically (ie., to the query that I linked to when I first set up the mail merge document). Now it seems that I have to re-find the data source each time I do a merge. How do you cause it to use updated data automatically when you open the mail merge document? Thanks. |

Word 2002 Mail Merge with Access database
From the Tools menu, select Options and then go the the General tab and
check the box against "Confirm conversions at Open" Then when you attach the data source, you will be asked to confirm the connection method. Try the different options and one of them should work. -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Nancy" wrote in message ... We just upgraded to Word 2002.
