Word thinks input file is Access DB
I've done oodles of mail merges of every type using Excel files as input. All
of a suddent, when I select the Excel file of recipients, a window titled Data LInk Connection is displayed. The software thinks I am trying to open an Access file. But the file is an Excel spreadsheet. Rebooting did not help. Shutting down did not help. I moved the file from my network to my hard drive and that didn't help. I uninstalled Office and then reinstalled it. I ran Repair Office from the admin tools. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks, Myrna |

Word MAil Merge only works with Access File
I continued trying to resolve this problem. When I use an Access file as
input, it works like a charm. I was always able to use an Exel file as input. I don't know what/why this changed. Can anyone give me any idea of what to do to get this capability back?
