MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2004Wizard locks if using Access DB with attached tables
I have Win XP Pro and Office 2003. When I use the mail merge wizard it locks when I use an Access DB with attached tables. Any Ideas? Tom Hi Tom, > I have Win XP Pro and Office 2003. > When I use the mail merge wizard it locks when I use an > Access DB with attached tables. Do things work any better if you use another connection method (how to do that is in the Word 2002 section of my website's Mail merge FAQ)? In what data source are these linked tables?

Sorry. The linked tables are in another Access database. Developers normally 'split' an Access DB into data and objects databases to facilitate development. This is vanilla technique and nothing special. So I am very surprised that Word falls over. BTW is it possible to bypass the mail merge wizard? Tom >Hi Tom, > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > >.

I realize that, but I'm not aware that things lockup, generally, in this case. that's why I wanted you to test a few things. As long as we're still in the question-and-answer phase: is there any password security applied to either of these databases? > BTW is it possible to bypass the mail merge wizard? Use the toolbar. Or the older command interfaces (see the Word 2002 section of my site's mail merge FAQ) Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Sep 30 2003) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
