I use Access 2003.  When I go to do a mail merge (Micro. Word), whether it is
from a table or a query, and whether I am linking it to a current document or
creating a new document,  the following happens,
1. I am asked to select a table (even if I want to use a query, the table
question is asked).
2. When I select the table, the Acess Icon at the bottom of my screen
flashes and when I click on it, the following message appears; "Word was
unable to open the data source."

Thus, I am unable to do a merge.

Can't figure out what is wrong.

Thanks for any help that can be given.
