Word 07 cannot save file after merging - system generated name
Greetings!
I use Word 07 to open a Word 03 mail merge main document, then run merge using Word 03 source - I can edit contacts or change sources without issue. When closing main document, I get a prompt "Sj67yt.doc is a mail merge main document that is attached to a data source...that has not been saved. Do you want to save Sj67yt.doc?" While "Sj67yt.doc" should actually show the main file's name, it does not - this is system generated, and changes from attempt to attempt. Also, it fails with a Read-only access message. Has anyone else seen this? I know I can change the data source to a new XLSX or DOCX file, but I was hoping my customers wouldn't have to recreate all their sources. Thanks in advance, Daniel |

Word 07 cannot save file after merging - system generated name
Peter -
Thanks much for replying. The files do reside on network drives, but I believe the issue follows even when they are copied locally (I will be verifying that today). Can you point me to any info from MS on this? I'd like to bring this up to our TAM (we are an EA and Select customer) but it helps if I can point to their own info. Thanks again, Daniel "Peter Jamieson" wrote: Are these data sources on network drives? And do they work if they are moved to local hard drives? If so, the answer is that this problem has been noticed and brought to Microsoft's attention. However, I do not work for Microsoft and do not know what the timetable for a fix might be. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Daniel Nelson" Daniel wrote in message ... Greetings!

Unfortunately not. It may be worth making your own report to Microsoft, particularly if you think the issue also affects data sources on local drives. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Daniel Nelson" wrote in message ...
