If you add the mail merge helper
(http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm) this displays the
data file detail.

Yeah, but is there a way to programmatically point to the database file and
table/query within the database so that the end user doesn't have to even
select the data source?

Thanks,

John
