MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / February 2004Merge with secured Access DB
I am having trouble merging a letter in Word with a mailing list I have as a select query in Access. I cannot connect to the data source. Apparently, I cannot connect via DDE. How do I connect using another method? Does ODBC work? How do I set that up? Hi Dale, > I am having trouble merging a letter in Word with a > mailing list I have as a select query in Access.

How do I set that up? to give you detailed instructions we need to know the version of Word you're using?

The DB is in an access 2002 format and this is driving me crazy now. Any help is greatly appreciated. D. >-----Original Message----- >Hi Dale, [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > >.

Right, DDE won't work between different Office versions. You can use ODBC. Activate "Confirm conversions on open" in Tools/Options/General, then connect to the Access database. In order to see the list of queries with the tables, click "Options" and activate "Views".
