How do I get Word 2003 mail merge documents to save data source
How do I get Word 2003 mail merge documents to save data source and record
selection information with the document? Every time I open a document I have to tell Word where to get the data (Access file) and which records to select. Maddeningly, about one in ten documents do 'remember' this information when opened. What am I doing wrong? never had a problem with this in Office 2000. |

Hi ?B?SmVmZkBwcGdjb25zdWx0aW5nLmNvbQ==?=,
How do I get Word 2003 mail merge documents to save data source and record selection information with the document? Every time I open a document I have to tell Word where to get the data (Access file) and which records to select. Maddeningly, about one in ten documents do 'remember' this information when opened. What am I doing wrong? never had a problem with this in Office 2000. This is a problem with Word 2002/2003 + Excel/Access connections, usually, when you've selected records using the Recipients dialog box and have an OLE DB connection. Use an older connection method (DDE, like in 2000, or ODBC) and the problem usually goes away. You'll find instructions on how to "roll back" in the Word 2002 section of my website's mail merge FAQ.
