If you are opening the document already from access, which gets its source
from the DB query, you could remove the data source in the word documents
and place bookmarks instead, sending the data from access to word via
bookmark method. That will eliminate the link problem. There are several
methods and lots of sample databases with different approaches out there.
Here are some links you may want to check out, see if any of them point you
in the right direction. If not, please provide further details about how
you are calling your word form from access and how your link/merge is
currently set up.
Thanks, Cathy

Please respond to Subject: [mso] word mail merge
no longer working from access

I have found it very difficult to find answers with anything to do with MS
Word mail merge together with MS Access. I have an access database, where
I click on a button and it opens up a MS Word Mail Mege Document. I can
then mege the document which gets its source from a query in the DB. So far
so good. I have read many times that ou should split your database, for
obvious reasons. When I split the database, the word docs can no longer
find
the source and the merge buttons are greyed out. Does anyone know the
problem, or where I can get some useful information about using Access and
Mail Merge together. We thought about moving things back into reports in
the DD, but some of the word merges are letters, where the client can
freely
type what ever type of leter they want.
