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. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
