use an access query to feed word mailmerge

S

Swansea Jack

Hi, I would appreciate some help with some settings in Word. I have a
mailmerge document that I would like to use with an Access Query.

The problem I have is that when I open the merge and try to select a data
source from my access database all I am offered is tables, no queries. I
think that there must be a setting that needs adjusting within the Word
setup, so that it identifies queries as well as tables.

Can anyone provide the necessary information for me please.

Many thanks.

Hi Jack,

You may want to use the link below to the MS Word Mailmerge newsgroup to also post your question there and include the versions of
Word and Access you're using and the types of data you plan on creating with your MS Access Query.
