When I try to add a recipient in a Mail Merge document I used to go into the
Mail Merge Recipients listing - hit Edit and then add a new recipient. Word
won't let me do this now. When I hit "Edit" I get a dialog box titled
"Microsoft Office Word" that state "This operation cannot be completed
because of dialog or database engine failures. Please try again later. I
now cannot seem to add a recipient.

Which versin of Word, and what is the data source?

If you created your merge within Word 2002/2003 and created the data
source using the Mail Merge Wizard, you should be able to find an
Edit|Recipients facility in the Wizard, or in the Mailmerge toolbar,
which you can enable using Tools|Customize. However, with many types of
data source, the Edit button in "Edit Recipients" is greyed out - in
that case you have to open the underlying data source and edit that
directly. You may also have to close the mail merge main document to do
that. e.g. in older versions of Word, the default format for data
sources was a table in a Word document, so you'd need to identify, open,
modify, and save that document.
