Mail merge is merging old data that has changed
So I have changed some of the data in the data source but when I merge it
into Word it shows as the old data. (as it appeared before I changed it) Tried restarting Word and Excel. Tried using the refresh button |

Mail merge is merging old data that has changed
Which version of Word?
What if you try going through the process of connecting to the Excel data source again? With your mail merge main document open, can you open up the VBA Editor, open up the Immediate Window, type the following commands, and post the results here? print activedocument.mailmerge.datasource.name print activedocument.mailmerge.datasource.querystring (don't bother with the next one if you're using Word 2002) print activedocument.mailmerge.datasource.connectstring If you can't do that, can you a. open your mail merge main document b. save it in HTML format c. close it, and re-open it in Notepad d. look down the file for keywords that refer to mailmerge (they are usually near the top of the file) e. try to identify the name, query and connect info and paste it here (the mailmerge stuff is usually followed by a long list of rather short rows which you need not copy/paste here).
