MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / August 2007Unable to Open Data Source
I ssend an email merge document successfully using an excel data source, but when I try to send the same doc to a different excel list, I get an "unable to open data source" error message. I have search many "tips" but only get fixes/workarounds for Access & Word 2002 Please help!!!! Trying to send very important email to new list Many Thanks, Teej As a workaround (and since it looks like you are in a hurry) I would export the data you want to use from Excel, and/or copy/paste it into a Word table, and use that as the data source. Even if that doesn't work, it may help us to identify what is going wrong.

When you pasted, did you end up with a table in Word or a delimited layout? Sorry, I also forgot to say that you probably need to insert a row/line at the top containing the column names.
