Use an mde file for the Word MailMerge

[Warrio]

Hello!

Is it possible to link a word document to an .mde access database file?

Because when I select the datasource, set the password and apply, a file
conversion window appears and ask to select the type of encoding to make the
file readable. and Word just opens the .mde file as a text. This never
happens when I use an .mdb access standard file (but I cannot use this
interpreted (mdb) database)

Thanks for any suggestion

Just need to rename the mde file in an mdb file
it will work as the same from Word perspective

Thanks anyway
