Cannot edit Access records from Word mail merge toolbar button
I am using Office 2003 on Windows XP. When I do a mail merge from Word, and
select Mail Merge Recipients from the mail merge toolbar, a window opens that brings up a list of records in my Access database. From here I can choose who I want to include in my mail merge by ticking the records I want. However the edit record box is greyed out and I am unable to edit or delete any records without actually going into the Access database separately. Can anyone help please? |

Cannot edit Access records from Word mail merge toolbar button
You can only use that button to edit an Access data source if it happens to
be an "Office Address List", which is an Access database in a very specific format. The simplest thing to do is open the database separately using Access and do your edits there.
