2 merges opened
I use the same data source for 2 slightly different mail merge documents.
How can I access the data to edit information while both documents are opened? I get an error msg stating the data base engine failed. I find that I have to close one of the merged documents in order to edit the other, even though both use the same data source. How do I work around this?? Can I have multiple different pages to my document and still use and edit the date source?? please advise ASAP, driving me crazy Annie |

Yes, you could combine the two main documents into one.

Not sure how to do that. Maybe you could tell me. Right now I have just
redone the data source so each one has it, but that means I have to enter the info twice. These documents are labels, one has addresses the other just name, date of birth. Not sure if I can combine the two label documents to use one data source. Please let me know if this is possible and how to do it thanks Annie "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Yes, you could combine the two main documents into one. -- Hope this helps.

In your circumstances, I would suggest that you only use the one data source
and that you only have one of the mail merge main documents open at a time. -- Hope this helps.
