MDE and Mail Merging w/ Word
by VGF0YWthdQ » Fri, 11 Nov 2005 01:11:03 GMT
I am using Access 2000 and Windows XP.
I am trying to make a mail merge in Word with an encrypted & secured (via
FAQ steps) MDE. When I try to select the MDE as a data source though,
instead of getting a list of queries and tables to select from, I get
gibberish. It seems to be reading the MDE as straight text, instead of as a
database. I think Word doesn't recognize the encrypted/secured format.
Does anyone know how to mail merge to an MDE, or make Word recognize that
the MDE is a database with tables and queries instead of a 'delimited' text
file of garble?
Thanks!
Nick

2.Can't create MDE file with Word Mail Merge
3.Mail merge with an .mde access db
Hello!
Is it possible to link a word document to an .mde access database file?
because when I select the datasource, set the password and apply, a file
conversion window appears and ask to select the type of encoding to make the
file readable. and Word just opens the .mde file as a text. This never
happens when I use an .mdb access standard file (but I cannot use this
interpreted (mdb) database)
Thanks for any suggestion

5.word 97 mail merge vs word 2002 mail merge
Hi:
I have mail merge documents which were created in word 97
with data in ascii comma delimited text files using a data
header source to provide field names. When these files
are brought into word 2002, I can't find any reference to
or way to edit the header source. This appeared in the
word 97 mail merge helper, but not in the word 2002
wizard, nor anywhere else. What am I issing?
Thanks
