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.
