Default Mail merge with Access 2007 and WIF file Options

Get around the issue by customizing the Quick Access Toolbar in Access to
add the Merge it with Microsoft Office Word button from the "Commands Not in
the Ribbon" or "All Commands" group of the Choose commands from pulldown.

To do this, you click on the Office button and then on Access Options in the
bottom of the dialog and then on Customize.

Hi

I am trying to run a mail merge using Word 2007, Access 2007, and a
database with User level security using a workgroup information file.
I have got as far as trying to Select Recipients. Where and how do I
specify the Workgroup Information File?


I am looking at a Data Link Properties dialog box (from the Word Mail
Merge). It has a field for the datasource, which is set to :
C:\Projects\AC Global\Secure DB\SCOPSdb1.mdb


Below that, I have ticked the box Use a specific user name and
password, and supplied those.


When I click the Test Connection button, it just says that the
Workgroup Information File is missing.

How do I do it?
