I have an access database with which I do several mail merges using a
query as datasource.  Everything was working quite smooth until one of
our staff upgraded to office 2003.  The Access application still works
fine but, there is a problem with the word document.  I created it in
Word 2000, and as long as the person opening it uses Word 2000, there
is no problem.  However, when a user who has word 2003 opens the
document from a mail merge in Access, there is an error generated when
a merge is attempted stating that this is not a mail merge document.
The the document seems to lose its datasource and the fact that its a
merge document.  All the mail merge buttons become greyed out.  Im
wondering if there is some difference in the way merge documents should
be saved and executed in office 2003.When I open the document in word
2003, set it up as a merge document, open the data source, test it and
close, then reopen it, its as if its lost its data source and the fact
that it is a merge document.

This is baffling.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill
