A workaround is to revert to the old DDE connection mechanism - to do this,
check Word Tools|Options|General|"Confirm conversions at open" and reconnect
to the .mdb. After you have selected the .mdb in "Select Data SOurce" you
will see a dialog box listing connection methods - choose the one with
Access and DDE in it.""
I've already done all this and it does work if I merge from MS Word using those options. But I have a problem doing the merging from MS Access where I can't choose the DDE.
How can I fix this? We converted from 97 to 2003.
