MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / November 2003make Word look for xls db files, not doc files?
Is there a way to have Word 2000 default to look for xls files, not doc files, when connecting a merge doc to its database? I don't think so. I think you would have to bypass the normal method altogether (not even reusing the Open Data Source dialog box) and write your own VBA Userform to get the file details, then use OpenDataSource to open the .xls. -- Peter Jamieson - Word MVP > Is there a way to have Word 2000 default to look for xls files, not doc > files, when connecting a merge doc to its database? Oh, is that all??? Truly, thanks for the answer. Even when it is "no", that helps. >I don't think so.
