Hi, I have some various problems with Mailmerge to SQL Server Views
using odc files. Word 2002. Mostly a bug with the Filter Recipients.
1st problem - When I filter the records (using advanced in the
recipients dialog) and then remove the filter, it doesnt refresh the
records & subsequent filters do not work at all. The only way to get
the right data set is to close the document and reopen it.
2nd problem - metimes when the documents open it prompts and asks for
the odc / data source even though they have been linked before and then
saved. Why do some users/documents remember the database and view but
some need to re-connect every timne they are opened ?
3rd problem - Is there any way for my Word 2000 clients to filter the
views? I can add some mailmerge buttons to Word, but they just remain
greyed out.
Thanks
