I can do all the setting for mail merge using Word with Access (2003). But
after saving it, when i open it, it does link to the proper file location, i
have to reset it all over again. Can I do something to avoid this repetitive
action?

Thank you

May I assume you've mistyped and you want do say it does NOT link to the proper
file location? IOW, when you re-open the main merge document, you get a prompt
to find the data source?

This is also happening with new documents? How about if you start Word in SAFE
MODE (hold down CTRL when starting), then creating a new main merge document?

Are you using the Recipients dialog box to filter the records with which the
document is merged? If yes, please describe what you're doing.
