In Word, from the Tools menu, select Options and then go to the General tab
and check the box for "Confirm conversions at open" Then when you select
the data source, you will be asked for the method by which the connection
should be made. Try the different options.

I am creating a mail merge using Access (Word 2003 and Access 2003) as the
data source. When I try to locate the query I have created, I do not see
it
listed in the mail merge dialog box (Select Table). The name of the query
isn't suspect, there are no parameter prompts that might confuse Word.
I'm
baffled. Please give me some guidance or a potential reference as to the
specifications a query must meet before being accepted by Word.
