Word mail merge

[Phil]

Hi,

I'm trying to do a mail merge from a query in access. I
select the query, click on Tools, select Office Links and
select "Merge it with MS Word", and go from there. I
already have my word document. When in Word and I click
on "Merge" it counts the records being merged and then the
line that shows the merge count changes to "sec 1
1/xxxx" where xxxx starts counting all over again and gets
slower and slower. What is going on????? My table has
3854 records and my query should only have 154 records.
When the merge stops I have 3854 pages.

What am I missing or am I confused about how the works?

Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phil,

Let's clear up one thing first. You say "my query should only have 154
records". When you preview it in Access, how many records does it
actually return?
