Our office is converting from Windows 2000, V5.00.2195, SP4/MS Office 2000 to
Windows XP Pro, V2002, SP2/MS Office 2003 Pro.
The problem I'm having is: we've created 100s of merge documents with Excel
datasources, which link via DDE commands to ODBC datasources for the
information. In MSOffice 2000, the Word document opens, then the Excel
datasource opens in another window. In the Excel datasource the users can
type an ID number in a designated parameter field and get just the one record
to show up for merging. Then they return to the Word document and merge the
record and print.
In reading other posts regarding mail merge here, I see that I should be
able to, from Word, choose Tools - Options - General Tab - Confirm conversion
at Open; however, when I do this then connect to my Excel datasource, it
seems to open EVERY excel workbook in my directory! UGH, help!
