I am trying to do a mail merge using my contact database. I need to do
labels. When I use the mail merge temporary file, my list comes up blank.
This is a local contact database on my computer. How do I get the mail merge
to use this info???

What do you mean by the mail merge temporary file? If the "contact
database" that you are refering to is your Outlook Contacts, then, try
initiating the merge from Outlook.

See the "Mailmerge from Outlook" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website
