a. you should probably get the latest version of the Data Access software
(MDAC) from the Microsoft web site and install it.

Tools|Mail Merge to initiate the merge. Generally speaking it's a more
reliable and versatile way of merging from Outlook. But be careful as the
field names used in the two different methods may differ in some cases.
