I am using Office 2003 under XP Professional. I use the following procedure
in Word:
1. From the menu bar I select Insert.Field
2. In the field window under field names: I select Database and under field
properties I click the Insert database... button
3. In the Databse window I click the Get Data button
4. My Access database opens properly and I get the select table window.

My question: Why do some of the queries listed in the select table window
return empty tables to Word? All the queries work OK in Access.
