a data source it keeps saying it cant use the dde connection and it will not
work..., any suggestions?????????

I find that merging to excel is the easiest format. I need more information
to give you specific feedback: Are you merging to a form, envelope, label or
what?

You should always quote the exact wording of an error message when asking for
help. Based on what you tell us, see if this article applies to your situation:

WD2000: ErrMsg: "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Application
to complete the current task."
