How do I resolve Contact folder data source issues?
Working with Word 2007, I created a Word document to use for labels for mail
merges from Outlook. I start the mail merge from Outlook and I get an error message that the data source has already been populated. When I remove populated info, the document the "mailing list" tab is greyed out. Any ideas? ps Word also shows that multiple word doc's are open when in there is really only one open -- Thanks for the help "SJD30942" wrote: When using Microsoft Office Word 2003 for Mail Merge to create mailing labels from my Contacts file I get the following message: "Unable to obtain a list of tables from the data source." I've tried everything and am becoming more frustrated each day. I'd used this feature many times last year so I know it did work as advertised. It appears as though something has become out of sync? Any help and/or suggestions will be appreciated. |

How do I resolve Contact folder data source issues?
Post is far too unclear. State precisely what you are doing and what happens
if you expect us to guess what you're doing wrong. Clarify what this "Word Document" is. When you start a merge from Outlook, you usually create the merge document as you go. Trying to use something you imagine to be a "saved merge document" would certainly generate some errors like this since it would already has its datasource connected. Your post would be better off made to the Word mail merge group. -- Russ Valentine "tinks" wrote in message ...
