Problem with MS word Merge

Post by glamorgan » Thu Dec 20, 2012 4:47 am

Hi everyone

while trying to create a new tempalte for letter merge on MS word,
when trying to edit the template, i get a window in MS word prompting me to select a data source with "OLEDB database Files" selected.

If i click ok, i get the following error:

Word was unable to open the data source.

I am using MS word 2007,Windows 7 Pro, any clues?

You probably want to use the ODBC connection instead of an OLEDB.

The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
