Under W98 & 2000 I was able to set up an effective letters mail merge
from within Access, accessible to users in a single click once they
had selected the recipients list. With XP and Office 2003 the whole
thing has fallen apart
- Word loses the access data source, the word data source selection
dialog is un-intuitive and opaque, data source queries in access are
not listed for selection, even when the data source is exported to
an excel sheet, word sees the workbook, but not the sheet containing
the data.

Less concentration on copyright paranoia and more on ensuring
customers get the functional software they paid for would be helpful!
