MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / July 2004Mail Merge- problem getting data from MS Access
I'm using MS Word 2002 with an XP Operating System and MS Access 2002. My problem is that my recipient list in WORD is empty even though it shows all the proper field names from my Access query. I have matched the Access field names to the merge fields in the Word document. I have not filtered out any data in the recipient list dialogue box. Can anyone figure this out? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks. Hi =?Utf-8?B?QmlsbCBhdCBUT1RF?=, > I'm using MS Word 2002 with an XP Operating System and MS Access 2002.

If you - display the mail merge toolbar - start a new merge, in a new document, linking to your database - then insert the mergefields directly (don't do any "mapping" or try the address block, nothing like that) - and click on the "ABC" button in the mail merge toolbar do you see the fields' content in the merge fields you inserted?

Some queries work fine, some don't. What is the "ABC" button? I don't see anything like that on the Mailmerge toolbar. If you look at the illustration of the mailmerge toolbar at http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm the <<ABC>> button is fourth from the right. Ther article generally may help with your merge problems.
