Merging data to word from access
I don't know if anyone can help me? I am trying to merge some details from
an access query in to a word document. I select the source document and can complete the merge successfully but when I save then exit, when I return in to the document, it has not stored the source details and reverts to a different table in my data source to the query specified. Is there any way I can save the source that word should be pulling the information from? Kind Regards, Gwen |

Merging data to word from access
Is there any way I can save the source that word should be pulling the
information from? It depends on exactly what you mean. a. a Word mail merge main document that has been connected to a data source such as an Access query, then saved, should reconnect to that query when you re-open the document, although you may see a question about executing SQL. b. When it reconnects, the query should execute, i.e. you should see the data that the query returns /now/, not the data that the query returned when you last did the merge. c. in some cases, Word 2002 (and possibly 2003) does not successfully reconnect to the query, e.g. if you have applied additional selection criteria you may experience some problems So... d. which version of Word/Access? e. can you spell out /exactly/ what steps you are taking? f. in particular, are you definitely saving the Word mail merge main document after you have attached it to your query data source g. when you re-open that document, do you see any messages? If so, what are they? Peter Jamieson "GR" wrote in message news I don't know if anyone can help me? I am trying to merge some details from an access query in to a word document.
