MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / June 2005Why do I only get error messages when I try to attach and Excel, M
Trying to mail merge labels. When I attempt to attach my excel, MS database or a spreadsheet I only get error messages. With the db, it tells me I have to get rid of a formula (but this is only names and addresses and dues paid). With xl I just get message that Work can't attach this program or something like that. I'm not exactly techie person but several people have tried to help for last 2 wks with no success. See where what you are doing differs from http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm If the problem is something else - let us know *exactly* what the error messages say.

Well, I went to you site and find it extremely helpful but doesn't solve this problem. When I try to use the MSdb for labels I get the office asst. saying "Office cannot use Works files that contain formulas for mail merge. Remove the formula from this file to use it as a data source". > See where what you are doing differs from > http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > person but several people have tried to help for last 2 wks with no > > success. Essentially Works is incompatible with Word, although there is a lashup in the form of an nextremely buggy add-in that allows some integration. The only way to get this to work properly is to export the Works database from Works into a format that Word can understand, eg dbf or csv.

I'm not sure that I understand all that but I'll try to export it. After I go through your site again.
