Merging docs with access is not Saving the steps
Two suggestions, just in case you have not tried them
1... a. open your mail merge main document and go through the steps necessary to connect (again). b. use "Mailings-Start Mail Merge to change the document type to "Normal Word document c. save and close the document d. re-open the document. You should not see any messages about a data source e. re-connect to the data source and set the mail merge document type as required f. save and close the document g. re-open the document. You will at least see the "SQL" message box (unless you have already made the change to the Windows registry that fixes that). But with any luck, the connection will then proceed without further effort. 2... a. If you do not need the features of the .docx format, keep to .doc. b. then if necessary, do (1).
