In Office 2000 I used several mail merge .doc files (read-only) based on an
Access parameter query to produce individual letters based on the ID supplied
to the query before firing up the Word document. I recently converted the
Access 2000 .mdb to the 2007 .accdb format. Now each time I try to open a
listed Word document, the following error appears:
€œ4605: This method or property is not available because the document is not
a mail merge document€�
After clicking OK either .doc, .docx or dotx documents can open but only one
record appears. When I then try to run Word 2007s MailingsStart Mail
MergeStep by Step Mail Merge Wizard, at Step #3 by clicking Browse I can
navigate to the .accdb database but no parameter querys appear in the list of
the Select Table window even though they exist in the database.
I tried removing the [Enter publisher's NameID] entry from the Criteria of
my query. The query then appears in the list of the Select Table window€¦ but
obviously, the resulting document has not narrowed down my recipients to the
ID I want to create the letter for.
So, my question is: Is it possible to open a mail-merge document based on a
parameter query in Office 2007? If so, how?
I am running English Office 2007 Ultimate SP1 on English Vista Ultimate SP1.
If it matters, Office Language Pack 2007 Chinese-(Taiwan) Traditional is also
installed but the database data is all in English.
Thanks!
