Mail merge from Access query

[Callegari]

I have constructed a mail merge sourcing data from a select query that works perfectly. When I put a filter on a field the resulting selection shows up in data sheet view of the query but nothing is evident in the mail merge document. When I look at "Select Recipients" nothing is listed and the record counter on the preview selector shows zero.

All I have done is, in design view,to specify criteria Like "A*" to select all those records where the field starts with A but the selection does not get through to the merge document.

Any thoughts?

Mail Merge problem

I think I have solved my own problem. A friend has directed me to a web page at bytes.com. Unfortunately the system will not allow me to post the link here.

Thank goodness it was the fault of Access and not me overlooking something simple. At least I now know to devise a simple workaround.
