I have a Access query that I am using as my data source
for a Word merge document (lables). The first time I
creat it all works great. However, if I go back into
access and change the criteria in my query and save it.
Then try to merge in Word again it does not work. I get
the message that "my data records were empty or no data
records matched your query" I checked my query in Access
and I have data. Why does this happen? If I recreat the
merge document its good for 1 use.

One possible cause of this problem is described in

(No Records Are Displayed When You Merge Data with Microsoft Word)

if you happen to be using Word/Access 2002 or later.
