MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / September 2003data file location problem
I recently ran a large mail merge (Excel data into Word) which crashed my system. Ever since, I can't run mail merge from Excel files. When I designate an Excel file as the data source, I consistently get a message that says "cannot find file (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available." I can, however, open these same data files directly within Excel. I've run Norton Utilities and have reinstalled Office, but still no fix. Any suggestions (short of reinstalling the operating system)? Hi Robin, Let's start with the version of Office we're dealing with. Then, did you explicitly choose a particular type of connection method? And can you double-click an Excel file in Windows Explorer and have it open with no problems in Excel? > I recently ran a large mail merge (Excel data into Word) which crashed my > system.

I did not choose a particular connection method. And no, when I double-click on an Excel file in Windows Explorer I get the same error message.
