From the Tools menu in Word, select Options and on the General tab, check
the box against the "Confirm conversions at open" item and the when you
attach the data source, you will be asked which method of connection to use.
I believe selecting the DDE option will give you access to the queries.

I am trying to set up a mail merge in Word to pull from an Access Query.
When I select the Access database as the data source, it only gives me the
tables within that database to choose from. In Word 2000, there was a
tables
tab and a queries tab but in 2003, only the tables are shown. Is there
another process to follow to have it show the queries within the Access
database?

To give us something to dog
