Merged data from Access
I have upgraded from Office 2000 to 2003 and now when I open my word template
to merge data from an access database my records are out of sync i.e. record no 1 in the database is record No 8 in the merge, also my access database used to open when I opened the template and now it doesn't. I think its a data sort problem but can't work out why the database won't open when I open the merge document. I don't have a clue about this so can anyone help????? |

Merged data from Access
I am not sure about the records being out of synch issue, but from the Tools
menu in Word, select Options and then go to the General tab and check the box against the "Confirm conversions at open" item. Then when you attach the data source to the mail merge main document, select the DDE option and your database should then open like it used to. -- Hope this helps.
