I set up a form letter in Word and am trying to merge
information from an Access query that I created. I'm using
Office 2000. Everything works fine until I push
the "merge" button. It begins the merge and immediately I
get two pop-up boxes that ask for:

"Enter addressee list, separated by COMMAS" and
"Enter unit and FAS"

Problem is neither of the above are fields contained in my
query. I have no idea why it is asking for these two
specific pieces of information. It won't allow me to
cancel or close the pop-up boxes. Can you help?

TIA
CJ

If this happens with every merge you try to set up (regardless of the data
source) then it sounds to me as if someone could have written a macro that
intercepts one of the built-in mail merge commands - if you use Tools|Macro
to open the VBA editor and see what macros are in Normal.dot and/or the
template your document is attached to you may be able to see what is going
on.

If it only happens with this data source then I'm wondering whether the
query is doing something unusual such as invoking an Access VBA routine.
