Hi All,

I have a word document that is used for a mail merge from Access, the document has mergefields on it, however the mail merge options to insert fields etc are greyed out.

Running this document from access it works perfectly, I can add merge fields from the query it is currently linked to and they populate.

My question is I want to change which query this document is using, where can ! do that?

I use the wizard to link to the query I start getting a prompt asking me if I want to run SQL, which doesn't currently happen.


Regards

Chris

It sounds like the DB is disconnected from the doc. Run thru the mail merge wizard (in word) again and reconnect to the db, and get your new query.

If I do that , then every time the document opens I get questioned as to whether I want to run SQL in the document, since the other documents don't do that, it won't be acceptable to the user.
