ColleenC14 said:Thank you for responding. I am using Contacts in Outlook to store my
address information - I upgraded earlier this year to the 2007 version
from
the prior version. Using Word or Publisher - it gave me an error when I
told
it to use the Contacts file during the Mail Merge wizard. Something about
Access not able to find the file. I tried everything I could think of but
finally found a work around. I exported the name and address information
to
an Excel file and used that with Publisher to create the labels. Last
year
this worked very simply - before I got the new versions of software. If
you
know what the problem is I am still interested in learning how to do it
directly.

Russ Valentine said:Aha. The plot thickens. By "upgrade," do you mean you attempted to install a
new version of Office over another? If so, that is the problem. I have never
seen Outlook survive an upgrade installation until you create a new Outlook
profile from scratch.

Make sure you know the name and location of your current Outlook data file
and reconnect the new profile to that file. Everything should work fine
after that. This is another of Outlook's dirty little secrets that Microsoft
fails to acknowledge or correct. My personal bias is that no one should ever
attempt an upgrade installation of Office. It just doesn't work.
