In in step 3 of mail merge wizard, I selected the folder I want to use from
the 'select contacts' box. The 'microsoft office access database engine cound
not find the object'. Its right there - how can I get it recognised? "Show
this folder as an email address book"  is selected. I'm using office 2007. I
also tried starting mail merge from outlook and got the same message.

Did you by any chance use Windows Easy Transfer to move data from an older
PC to your current one?

I am told that in that case a corrupt Outlook Profile is created and you
have to create a new one (probably in Control Panel|Mail - it depends which
version of Windows you are using.

Another thing to try is the following:

Amazing - I did use Windows Easy Transfer from my old XP laptop and am using
Vista now!!!

I made a new Personal folder and in the email tab went to 'change folder'
and changed to the new one. I also discovered that I also had to go to the
'data files' tab and change the default to the new one I had created. My mail
merge worked like a dream!!!

Thanks so much for your help.
