mail merge data base help
Word 2007, XP
I have set up a data base (on network) and have entered various data. Some days I'll go into the data and add or delete files and it will save some and not the others. I choose "save" whereever it prompts me. Will pay for help if someone can direct me to a website. Thank you. -- Joan |

mail merge data base help
What sort of database? How are you accessing it to add or delete files (by
which I assume that you mean "records") See the last couple of posts in the thread "adding names to a recipient file" in this newsgroup that was started by Dr.Dave on 08/08/2008 -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Joan" wrote in message ...

mail merge data base help
The data is for a mail merge in Word 2007. It saves as a .mdb file. I open
the file and choose "mailings" "edit receipients" and then add, delete etc. If I add a record or change information in an existing record it saves it but when I go to add another the first one I changed or added is not there anymore. I've tried saving after each change and that doesn't help either. I have changed the located of the data source to a drive where it is more easily found. The default is "my data Sources". Do you have to save it in this folder? This problem is a random problem - sometimes I can enter many changes, records and no problems other times I can't do anything. This is on a network and many people access these records. If you can help I'd appreciate it. -- Joan "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: What sort of database?
