Merging from an Access Query

My company has recently moved to word 2002 on XP. When I try and merge a
Query from ACCESS into Word if I have set a crieria on Access, word will no
longer allow me to select this query to merge. However if the Query has no
criterias set I can merge no problem. I never had this problem pre 2002/XP.
What used to happen was that i opened the word document and this
automayically opened Access asking me to insert mt criteria and then the
mailmerge worked as normal. I desperatly need to keep this function for the
job I am doing

Check Word Tools|Options|general confirm conversions at open, then go
through the process of selecting your query as a data source again. You
should see a new dialog box that lets you select a "connection method".
Choose DDE (which is what older versions of Word used by default - Word
2002/2003 use OLEDB by defualt, and an OLEDB connection can't use Access
"parameter" queries).
