Can data files for mailmerge be updated?

[Missiehillie]

I have a 4 year old 3.5 disc with addresses that I update each year.
Last year I updated using Windows 98, with Office maybe Publisher 2000.
Now I am unable to access the info with my Windows XP and Publisher 2003.
Is there a way to get to this data, edit it, and make labels in 2005?

Thanks

Copy the list to "My Data" folder in "My Documents." Is it a Publisher list? If it is
a .mdb file, Publisher should read it. I think your problem is mainly the floppy
disk.

Hi Mary! Thank you for the quick reply. Yes it is a publisher list but I am
not sure what a .mdb file is. I will try putting the data in My Documents and
report back!

Hello Robin, A .mdb is an Access data file. Publisher uses this extension as a
default.
