RE: Access to Word link 2003

Hi Jack

could you be more specific, please, about what menu command you used to use?
As far as I know, the same interface is still there, in Access 2003, in the
Tools menu.

>From the Word side, I prefer using the mail merge toolbar to the "wizard"
(look in Tools/Letters and Mailings). The second button from the left should
let you navigate to and connect to your Access database.

Once you get that far, if things aren't working as you remember, could you
please descirbe the problems you encounter in more detail?
