Relative Path to a mail merge
See the address: http://www.knowhow.com/DownloadWord.aspx
Download and extract the zip file (ex: inside a "Sample" folder). See the sample exmerg2.doc, close the doc. Try now rename the "Sample" folder to "Sample2". Reopen the exmerg2.doc. It has a relative reference to the .mdb source. How did he get? If the answer is Microsoft Query, can someone explain me how to do this and another queries with the microsoft query? OBS: I know only how to do the relative reference with a Word table. |

I have not checked back, but relative references probably worked differently in earlier versions of Word. Peter Jamieson "Anderflash" wrote in message ...
