Graham,

I looked at the site you provided. It did not help.

1) When I try to use Outlook for the mail merge, there is no mail merge
option in my pull down list within Outlook. I use Outlook 2003??

2) When I go to Word and try and use mail merge, when I get to the place
where "Use existing list" is checked, instead of seeing the file "OMM2.doc"
what I see is a Browse box.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong??

I'm using mail merge to create mailing labels. I want to use the
Outlook Contacts folder for the names and addresses. When I select
the folder I get the following error message -

This operation cannot be completed because of a dialog or database
engine failure. Try again later.

Any thoughts?
