I have look in Outlook under tools and I don't see mail merge. In word I was
able to add it when I go into Toolbars Command and all Commands but in
Outlook the all Command Category is not there.

Were would I find this.

Thanks...

Changes have been made to the way Word connnects to Outlook databases in
Microsoft's quest to improve security. Instead of initiating Outlook mail
merges from Word, initiate them from Outlook. This allows Outlook to connect
in a different manner (and provides access to all the fields). You can save
the datafile associated with the merge from Outlook.

I have created several documents that have mail merge. They are all
using address books from Outlook in the public folders that are on
the server. When I open the document after rebooting the system. The
document ask the following:

Opening this document will run the following SQL command:
Select *FROM C:\~~\~~_virtual_file_~~~.olk ORDER BY COMPANY
Data from your database will be placed in the document. Do you want
to continue?

Hit Yes

Then it ask to find data source but it only gives choice for database
type choices.

If I hit Options and then remove data/header source.

The document opens and then I hit Mail Merge Helper and reconnect to
the Outlook Address Book.

I then close and reopen it ask me same first question, Then it ask
that it will be opening the Outlook Address Book converter which may
contain security risk, then it give me the different address book
available.

I would like it when the document opens to just ask which address book
available. That would make life nice.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you very much!!
