MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / December 2003Mail merger with Internet database
I would like to connect to an Access database located on a web server to create my mail merge. Is this possible? What would the connection string look like? Hi Bob, > I would like to connect to an Access database located on a > web server to create my mail merge. Is this possible? No. Mail merge requires a "traditional" data source, saved either locally or on a network location. You'd need to copy the data source (as a simple HTML table, or delimitd text, probably) to the user's machine, then link to it there.
