fields queries and utter disaster
I'm going to spit this off to the group that specialises in this kind of
thing, however, my first question is "How did you get a connection to mysql
from Microsoft Office in the first place?"
The people in the mailmergefields group need to know that you are doing this
in Macintosh OS 10.4.5 (Unix) using Microsoft Office 2004.
This is a specialist area, and I am by no means a specialist. However, I
think your answer will be something along the lines of "You need to use the
Database toolbar to insert the database into your data source as a Word
table." Once you have done that, you can then query the fields in that
table.
