Using a query to merge to word and then merge to a New
Document to create a document that is separate.  However,
when I open up the new document maybe a day later it is
still looking for the records in the query.  Any ideas?

It sounds like you have not actually executed the merge and that all you
have done is preview the result in the mail merge main document.  You need
to execute the merge to a new document.  If you are using XP or 2003, I
would suggest that you select Toolbars from the View menu and then check the
Mailmerge item on the list and then on the Mailmerge toolbar that will be
displayed, click on the Merge to new document button on the right hand side
of the toolbar.

well, if i execute the merge then my sort options won't
be avialable still, i would imagine. because what would
mean it has already merged the data and you need to state
filter and sort preferences before hand. this only
happens in Word 2000. Word 2002 works fine.
thanks though
