From the Tools menu in Word, select Options and go to the General tab and
check the box for Confirm conversions at open. Then try the DDE method of
connecting to the source when you attach the data source to the mail merge
main document.

Or, open the Query in Access and from the Access Tools menu, select Office
Links and then Merge it with Microsoft Word.

tables of linked tables, word can't find them. Is there a finite number
of
tables and queries that word can look for in a mailmerge.

Better questions: Any workarounds so I can access from word
