I transferred my office 97 word documents to a new computer which has office 2003. In my old pc, under office 97, mail merge was simple. However, with office 2003, I'm going crazy. I can't seem to do the same thing with mail merge such as insert a query, change or delete a query. My mail merges are using the last query that I used in the old pc under office 97. Now when I do a mail merge, it selects the records from the old query and I can't figure out how to change that???? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Microsoft changed the default method used to connect mail merge to its data
in Office 2002/3 Most of the issues involved are covered at

Thanks very much for your response to my question. Your web site was very informative and it helped my very much. I even amazed myself by even including the MergeBar button with a Macro! Thanks again
