I am creating a mail merge letter using an Excel data base. When I try and
link the Word document to the Excel data source I get the message "word was
unable to enter the data source." I get this message regardless of what
computer I use. I can open the Excel sheet on its own. Interestingly I am
able to link prior excel spreadsheets through mail merge. What is going on?
Is there a code on my sheet? Is there something in the mail merge letter
preventing the link? Can somebody help me?????
