I am running Office 2003 Small Business Edition on a new Dell Win XP Home
PC. When I am in Word, if I try to do a single envelope or label, I can
access the Contacts from Outlook.

If I try to do a multiple address merge, I get the message "Unable to obtain
list of table from data source." I have run a "Detect and Repair" and tried
accessing the file with Outlook both open and closed with the same error.

Any ideas?

Greg,

I'll give it a shot to see if it will work. This is a problem that I'm
having on a client's PC. The mail merge function works fine on my personal
PC.

Thanks
