... which doesn't help as I'm on Access 2003

Start the merge from Access. Add the "Merge it with Microsoft Office
Word" item (from the Commands not in Ribbon) to the QAT.

Thanks for this. I'm using Word 2007 so the instructions are a little
different, but I managed to work out how to do the same thing in Word
2007. I get prompted as you explained but when I click OK I get the
attached message (see attached screenshot)

Any thoughts? Is it because i'm using 2007 (*.doc format not *.docx),
Access 2003, but saved as an Access 2000 format database?

news I copied this from a MS support page and saved in a Word doc but forgot
to
save the url. I fixed the same problem for me:

Word- merge Query not found
SYMPTOMS
When you try to use a Microsoft Access query as the data source in a
Word
mail merge operation, some of the queries in the Access database may be
unavailable as data sources in the Mail Merge Wizard.
Back to the top
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, confirm that Word uses Dynamic Data
Exchange
(DDE) when you attach the Access database to the mail merge document.
To do
this, follow these steps:
1. Open a new blank document.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab.
3. Click to select the Confirm conversion at Open check box, and then
click
OK.
4. On the Tools menu, point to Letters and Mailings, and then click
Mail
Merge Wizard.
5. Under Select document type, click the type that you want, and then
click
Next: Starting document.
6. Under Select starting document, click the document that you want to
use,
and then click Next: Select recipients.
7. Under Select recipients, click Use an existing list, and then click
Browse under Use an existing list.
8. Locate and open the folder that contains the Access database that
you
want to use as your data source, click the database, and then click
Open.
9. In the Confirm Data Source dialog box, click MS Access Databases via
DDE
(*.mdb, *.mde), and then click OK.
10. In the Microsoft Access dialog box, click the Queries tab, click
the
query that you want to use, and then click OK.
NOTE: All the queries in the Access database are available.

I cant seem to see the queries I need when I mail merge to access from

I can only see one query?, even though several exist in my access
database.

I can see all the tables fine. I am using Word 2007 and Access 2003.
