I have a document that I wrote to produce a set of labels and it does a mail
merge. The merge works fine and the labels come out perfectly. I just want to understand one thing. Whenever I open the document, I get a warning message: ================================================== ============ "Opening this document will run the following SQL command: SELECT * FROM `Members2006` ORDER BY `SequenceNumber` ASC Data from your database will be placed in the document. Do you want to continue? (YES) (NO) ================================================== ============ When I press YES, I get a Microsoft Word dialog that says: Membership_Cards.doc is a mail merge document. Word cannot find its data source, C:\..\My Data Sources\Members.mdb. (Find Data Source...) (Options...) If I click on Options..., it offers to "Remove Data/Header Source" or "Remove All Merge Info". Neither of those is quite what I want to do. My document is creating membership cards for my club and I want the document to point to a data source whose name includes the current year. For example, in 2006, I want the document to open a table called Members2006 in my data source. But in 2007, I want the document to open a table called Members2007. And so on. Is that possible? If so, how do I do modify my document to do that? I'm willing to use a macro if I can't do it any other way. -- Rhino |
