Default 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.

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.
