MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / June 2004Word Cannot Open Data Source
I recently converted a database from Access 97 to Access 2000. When I try to do a mail merge in Word using a Access query, I get "Word Cannot Open the Data Source". Hi Dave, > I recently converted a database from Access 97 to Access > 2000. When I try to do a mail merge in Word using a > Access query, I get "Word Cannot Open the Data Source". And which version of WORD are you now using? (And is this 2000 or 2002 - makes a BIG difference!)

Hi Dave, OK, then it's not a "simple" answer... Are you able to link to a table? Do you get this message with any query, or just certain ones? If this is query-specific, is this a query that used to work in Office 97? Or is it a new one? If a new one, what's special about it? If you activate the "Select method" checkbox in the Open Data Source dialog box you should be able to use ODBC as a connection method. And then click "Options" and choose "Views" to see the queries as well as the tables. Can you link to the query now? > I'm using Word 2000. > >> I recently converted a database from Access 97 to > Access > >> 2000.
