When I try to connect a mailmerge document to an access2003 mdb database I
get the popup where to select a table or view from the access mdb file.
But unfortunately not all views of the mdb are shown.
The mdb file bevore was converted from access97 to access2003.
How could I solve the problem?

In Word, from the Tools menu, select Options and then go to the General tab
and check the box against the item "Confirm conversions at open" After
doing that, when you attach the data source you will get a dialog box asking
for the method by which the connection should be made. Select the DDE
option.

Hope this helps.
