I created a merge letter, the "address block," etc. codes are in the letter.

I created a data source.

When I open the merge letter, 1st it asks me about the SQL datasource and I
say yes. Then when the letter is opened, my datasource is not connected to
it.

See the following Knowledge Base article:
