Mail Merge
Hi Doug,
You may want to use the link below to also post this in the MS Word Mailmerge discussion group if you're running the merge from Word. ================ "Doug" wrote in message ... I seem to be having a problem opening Mail Merge documents created in Office 2000 with Office 2003. Specifically, I have a database created in Access 2000 into which I input data and then merge the results by having the Access program bring up a Mail Merge document and merge the data. Some of the workstations have been upgraded to Office 2003. When one of these workstations brings up the Access database (now opened with Access 2003), they are able to input the data as usual. But when they try to bring up the Mail Merge document, it opens the document but states it is not a mail merge document. Of course it cannot procede. If I debug when it suggests, it is still looking at the mail merge document we have always used. The place where it stops and is highlighted is End With objWord.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.Execute If I close everything and then use Word 2000 OR Word 2003 to open the document it comes up as a mail merge document and tells me that it has to get information from the database before it can procede. I am perplexed to say the least. There are many of these mail merge documents in exitance and I dread going back and recreating them in Word 2003. No. I haven't tried that. I did open the document with Word 2003 and save it with Word 2003. It still cfeates the same error. The mail merge still works using Office 2000, so I have some leeway. But I need to get upgraded. Help? -- Doug -- Please let us know if this has helped, Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends -- Doug |
