Identifying Data Source

[Perico]

In Word XP, how do you identify the data source of an
existing mail merge document? When I use the wizard, I
see the fields in step 3 but not anything identifying the
data source.

Hi Perico,

From the Visual Basic Help File:

This example displays the name of the data source attached to the active
document.

If ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.Name <> "" Then _
MsgBox ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.Name

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps

Hi Perico,

Sounds like you're in the user interface? Go to
Help/About/Sytem Info. Under the information for Office,
look for Word, then mail merge. You'll find the full path to
the data source there.
