I'm trying to do mail merge using VB6 and Word 2003.
Everything seems to work fine, but whem I activate the
document the mail merge toolbar is disabled.
It seems that the document 'lost' the connection to the
database..
If I use, for example, word 2002, everything works fine?
Can anyone gave me an idea of what could this be?

Hi Bruna,

MOst likely, this is the Word 2003 security. If you opened
the Word document manually, you'd see a message; when you
automate this, the message is suppressed, but the data
source unlinked. See this KB article:
