Guess what, I just got WD2003 ...
Mail merge in WD2002 remembered my source file used at Step 3 if I wanted to
do a second merge, but now when I complete the last step and start another
merge going, I need to Browse for the source. Again.
Am I missing a setting in Tools Options or something else?

Did you save the mailmerge main document with the data source attached to
it?

Thank you for your prompt reply. I've been revisiting what I was doing to
make sure I wasn't overlooking something obvious.
Saving the main doc with or without the data source is important? Even when
I experimented and did that, the 'Use an existing list' option still says
Browse without offering the last one I used. When I do a straight merge of a
new doc with an existing database, WD2003's Browse never offers one used
earlier, while in WD2002 it did. Unless I've missed a Tools Options setting
or something?
