Default Vista compatibility problems with Word 2000 mailmerge

I upgraded to Vista from XP and now none of my Word 2000 mailmerge document
work. I receive €śOpen database connectivity error. No data source name
found or default driver.€ť The program freezes if I try to relink the template
to an access query. The mailmerge is tied into queries in Access 2000. The
links between Word and Access no longer exist or are not accessible. If I
try to make a new mailmerge docs from scratch, several copies of Access are
immediately opened each time I create a new mailmerge document or open one.
I would like to use all of the mailmerge docs I created in Office 97 & Office
2000, which worked fine and didn't open a copy of access each time I opened
the mailmerge doc. Any suggestions? Am I out of luck using vista?
