Data link connection
Consider the following scenario. I have created a mail merge document in
Microsoft Office Word 2003. Additionally, I want to add a link to an Excel file as data source. This triggers the Select Contact List Folder dialog box which wants me to chose an Access file as data source, although an Excel file is displayed as the data source. I can only cancel this and I cannot chose the correct data source whatsoever. The mistake has only occurred recently. Before, I was able to chose an Excel file as data source without any problems. I think the mistake occurred after I have tried to use the mail merge option for Word 2003 in Access 2003. |

Change the document type to a Normal Word Document, then save and close it
and then reopen it and then attach the data source. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
