Re: Mail merge to Outlook

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Mail merges are always frustrating to troubleshoot because they are
complicated, extremely poorly documented processes that involve more than
one application (and in your case, three).
All I can tell you is that your problem has never been reproduced to my
knowledge in Outlook, so we have nothing to go on here without more accurate
steps to repro. In my experience, if messages never even make it to Outlook,
the problem is upstream from Outlook, such as an email address that is not
resolved or recognized by your default transport type.
I also suspect there is more to your story than you may have recognized,
judging by your other post on this same subject.
Trust me, if anyone else had ever seen anything like this, they would have
jumped in this thread. Notice the silence? This is a subject where
cross-posting to Word and Access groups would make sense. I would have no
way of knowing the potential impact "changing your query" would have on your
Access database, for example, after you had already used this database
successfully for a merge.

The truth is my frustration got to me. Russ is a nice person. A volunteer
who
did his best. My frustration is that this is a Microsoft site, where we
are
talking about 2 Microsoft Products run on a Microsoft operating systems
which
can't communicate with one another.

And my boss is still asking me what i am going to do about this.
