MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / December 2005merge document database lost
I've created a master document for labels and used the wizard to create a database attached to that document. I've edited the database after opening the document, but now the attachment is possibly corrupted and the database will not open when I click on the edit database icon. How can I access this database to which I've added many, many entries?? Thank you! If you created your 'database' using the Word mail merge options it should be saved as a document with data laid out as a table. See if you can find the document and open it normally. If so your data is not corrupted so try re-naming it and changing the data source.

I guess that's my question, how do I find the data, even if it is in a document somewhere, what would it be named, where would it be? I did use the mm wizard to create the "database".

Thank you! When you created it you would have been asked to give it a name which will have a normal .doc file extension - you should be able to find the name by looking at the data source, use the Mail Merge Task Pane if you have XP or 2003 else you will find it under Tools, Mail Merge.

Add the old mailmerge helper to the mailmerge toolbar (see http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm ) The 'data source' section will list the name of the data file.
