[mso] Re: FW: Getting Word Mail Merge to accept Queries with function generated fields

Is the query a make-table, append, update or other action type query? If
so, you would not see it in the selection choices. If you create a query
off the query containing your function, you shouldn't have to do a
make-table, and it should only add one more query to your database.
Hope this helps, Cathy

Hey all, have a slight problem
=20
I have written a query which uses a function to convert a Date Of Birth
field into an age. Whenever I use [Name of field]:Age([ChildDOB]) as a
field, I can no longer use that query as a mail merge - in fact that
query wont even show up in the queries to choose from when I connect to
the Access database
=20
The database was generated in Access 2003, and we are now using Office
2007, which I believe may have spat the dummy :P even though I am using
Access 2007, the database is still in 2003 format, and I would like it
to stay that way due to the VBA programming that I would have to rewrite
=20
Can anyone help me out with changes I need to make to my VBA, or a
workaround (besides exporting to excel) that I can use to fix this
problem
=20
Thanks
