That message indicates that you have not executed the mailmerge. You must
execute the merge to a new document. It is that document that will contain
the 2400 letters.

When I try to retrieve the 2,400 letters generated from the merge form
after
the initial merge and saving it to a new file name, I can only view one
letter of the 2,400. It always asks me: "Opening the document will run the
following SQL command. Slect from "name of file". Data from your
database
will be place in the doument. Do you want to continue?" If I say yes or
no
only the last letter I viewed when originally merging shows. How can I
view
all 2,400 letters without linking it back to the data base? I need to
print,
view, and/or edit individual letters as needed; without linking it to the
original data base. As always thanks..........
