I'm creating a Mail Merge database in Word and started it
on one computer on a floppy disk, then finished it on
another; the second computer automatically saved it to
the floppy without giving me an option of saving it on
the (second) hard drive. Both computers seem to be using
the same edition of Word.

On an older computer a couple of years ago, the database
was simply a Word "table" that could be opened
independently and edited without being part of a Mail
Merge project. When I try to open this file directly from
the A drive (it has a "mdb" file designation, I think) I
get scary error messages. If I send it to "My Documents"
on the second computer, I still can't open it. Any idea
what's going on, and how I can get it saved to the hard
drive on computer No. 2? Thanks.
