MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / May 2005Mail Word 2000 to 2003
We've just upgraded from Office 2000 to 2003. When I open an existing mail merge document, I get an message saying that it can't find the database. When I select the database, it comes back to the message saying that it can't find the database. If I Remove All Merge Info, I can go into my mail merge doc and link it to the database again, but then if I save it, close it, and try to open the mail merge doc again it come back with the message saying that it can't find the database and I start all over again. Can anyone help please? Move the database to the defined 'data sources' folder (or maybe the folder containing the merge document) and re-attach it then see if it finds it any better. You don't have to 'remove all the merge information', simply re-attach the data file from the merge toolbar - http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > We've just upgraded from Office 2000 to 2003.

Hi Robin Yes, we did resolve it in the end. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=834699. Our network drives (where I was saving the database) are held on a website that windows recognised as an external site, and didnt trust. Our IT dept had to run a patch to correct the problem.
