    Mail merge from from Access to Word

    Hi,

    I have an Access database that I created using Access 2007 - I have a problem now I've upgraded to 2010.

    Basically, I have a Word Macro enabled document that is linked to a table in my database. I use the mail merge function to export information into a Word document. If I use Word 2007 and Access 2007 together, it works fine. However, if I try the same thing using the 2010 versions, I encounter a problem.

    A practical example:



    One of my database fields is a list of countries - take Vietnam, as an example. If I export using 2007 Word mail merge, it works perfectly. If I used the 2010 version, instead of getting Vietnam, I get Vietng. The same thing happens to every other field - instead of Nigeria I get Nigeng.

    This happens on multiple computers, using multiple OS (Vista & 7), using 32 and 64 bit versions. Has anyone noticed something similar happening, or know if it being mentioned as a bug somewhere?

    Thanks a lot!

    WOW!

    Interesting problem. Are you using the macro action in 2010??

    have you tried restarting any machine first?? That sounds like a windows issue, kind of like when you see spots of the desktop peek through a browser window. That's a memory issue usually, but it might be related.

    It doesn't really sound like it has anything to do with Acc or Word, but I might be wrong.

    It happens on any machine you try?? What's the exact steps you go through?

    (btw, define "mail merge function". what are you referring to, 'exactly'??)

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
