Merged Database with Word

[CGC]

Our office enters info in to an Access database which is
merged with Word to send out billing letters. Apparently
the author improperly set the procedure up using a
database on a now obsolete server, hence, the merge cannot
be accomplished. How do I redirect the merging process to
the correct database (of the same file name) on the
current server?

Thanks,

Chris

Open the MailMerge doc in Word and use the MailMerge Helper (in the Menu
Tools / MailMerge ...) to re-assign the DataSource for the Word document.
You may also need the Query Name (or Table Name but more likely a Select
Query) that was used as the DataSource since in an Access database file,
there are many objects that can be used as the DataSource for the MailMerge,
namely Tables & Queries.
