The default method that Word 2007 uses to connect to Access data (OLE DB)
uses the underlying Jet database engine, which does not know how to execute references to Access VBA user-defined functions (or "modules" if you prefer) .. Tou se them from WOrd mailmerge, you have to connect using DDE - in Word 2007, you should be able to do that by cliicking the Office Button, then going to WOrd Options-Advanced-General, then checking "Confirm file format conversion on open". Then go through th process of connecting to your mail merge data source, and in the addiitonal dialog after you select the data file, select the DDE option. If you don't see that option, check the Show All box in the "Confirm Data Source" dialog box and you should be able to find it in the list. Peter Jamieson "Eric in Cypress" Eric in wrote in message ... I exported a Access 2000 database into Access 2007. One of my queries in the database uses a module. I made the folder containing the database a trusted source. When I try to do a mailmerge in Word 2007 using this database and select my data source, I don't see my query. I see other queries from this database but not the one using the module. What am I missing? Thanks in advance! |
