We have a mail merge document that we set up on another computer with an XP
operating system. All I had to do was open the document and it would pull
from a specific table in an access database, and generate the letters.

We've since switched to Vista machines (not by my choice), and now my
document doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have anythoughts on what I might
need to do? It can't seem to find the datasource, and I've tried to go in and
set up an ODBC Connection, but I can't select Access to create a connection -
only SQL.

Also, our IT guy mentioned something about JET records in the Registrty
before, and point the security file to a specific place, but I can't seem to
find a Jet entry in the regedit screen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
 
When the Word document can't find the data source, it should let you
navigate your computer and find it manually. You need to do this after
opening the Word document (in Word, not Access).
