The command is context sensitive. You need to be in Contacts view. (I have
added a note to that effect to the web page).

I have look in Outlook under tools and I don't see mail merge. In

Commands but in Outlook the all Command Category is not there.
Were would I find this.

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!!
