Mail merge using a secure database
I have a user that is trying to do a mail merge using a secured access
database and when the database is accessed, using the right password and correct priviledges, it opens with gibberish. Is there a special way for mailmerge to access a secured database. Using office 2007 and access 2003. |

Mail merge using a secure database
How exactly are you doing it at the moment?
As far as I know, you have to do one of the following: a. get Word to prompt for the connection method, choose DDE, and respond correctly to the prompts displayed when Access tries to open the database (unless the database is already open) b. get Word to prompt for the connection method, choose ODBC, but after modifying the ODBC DSN so that it specifies the workgroup database, username and password (in fact I am not sure this can work) c. use MS Query with a suitable ODBC DSN d. use a file DSN e. use an Access .odc file with the necessary workgroup file, username and password f. (may) use a .udl file with the necessary workgroup file, username and password. (I can't easily experiment on this here unfortunately). Peter Jamieson "DavidF" wrote in message ...
