I recently posted a question about "Compound" merges.  I
was referenced to a great MVP's website for some more info
on doing a compound merge.  I used their example and
successfully did the merge using the Northwind database.  
I tweaked the code to reference my database, table, and
fields.  Now when I try to use it, it is giving me an
error message: "Word was unable to open the data source"  
Is there something I need to change in my database? It
worked fine with Northwind. I am stumped.  Thank you.

Hi Nick,

Paste your code into a message that you post back to the newsgroup so that
we can see if there is something wrong with it.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested.  Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
