If you use the Many to One Facility on my Merge Tools Add-in, you could bookmark the Sum formula that you would use to calculate the total and insert cross references to the text of that bookmark in the other places in the document where you need to display the total. You can download the MERGE TOOLS ADD-IN.zip file from the following page of my One Drive: Then extract the files from the archive and read “READ ME – Setting up and using the Merge Tools Add-in.docx to see how to install and use the various tools. Using those tools, it is possible to perform the following types of merge that cannot be done with Mail Merge “out-of-the-box”: • Merge to e-mail messages either with or without attachments, with the documents created by the merge being sent as either Word or PDF attachments or as the body of the e-mail message. C more streaming. I have a mail merge document which was migrated to a new server. Now every time when I run the mail merge document it tells me 'Error has occurred: The Microsoft Access database could not find the object ' '. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the p'. In the error it points to the old path on the server. When I click OK the data link properties window pops up. I change the data source to point to the path of the new server and the document opens up. Apr 17, 2018 To restore a Word mail-merge main document to a normal Word document, follow these steps: Display the Mail Merge toolbar if you do not see it on your screen. To do this, point to Letters and Mailings on the Tools menu, and then click Show Mail Merge Toolbar. The only problem is that this does not save. I have to specify the new path to the server everytime. How do I set this permanently? I am having the same problem with some, but not all, Excel merge data sources for Word mail merge. There are two symptoms: (1)the data source will not stick as the recipient list and has to be search for every time or (2) the data source string is: ' SELECT * FROM `Sheet1$` ', which does not find the file, of course. I have tried the recommended 'Say No to the SQL command box, reseek, and save mail merge master'. This just ends up with no connection at all. When an existing merge document begins to behave this way it occurs on all versions of Word we have (2003, 2007, 2010). Do you have the same problem if you try to connect a completely new Word document to the data source? If so, probably something wrong with the Excel file - if you can reconstruct it, or even create a test file with the same sheet name and column names, that may show that the file is/was at fault. For the default OLE DB connection type, the SQL message is the correct one - the SQL does not reference the workbook path or name - that comes from the file name or connection string which is not displayed in that dialog box. When you see the SQL warning and click Yes, do you then see a dialog box which provides the workbook path/name. Does that file exist? Is it the one you expect? Fsc codes list. If yes, again, I would suspect the Excel file. If no, the wrong data source is 'sticking'. That will happen if the previous data source has not been properly disconnected - e.g. If you proceed from the dialog I mention, then choose the option to find the data source in the next or subsequent dialog, it does then appear that you have corrected the problem, but in fact Word 'reverts' to the previous source the next time you open. Typically clicking Yes in the SQL dialog box should disconnect the old data source, but I would at least 'make sure' by e.g. Dolphin gamecube and wii emulator. Setting the mail merge main document type to Normal Word Document in the mailings tab. Peter Jamieson. Hi Mike, I too experienced this issue with Word 2013 (on Sept 24, 2015). 1) Microsoft needs to correct this. Saving a document means saving the document (including changes to data source) and it is not. 2) The resolution isn't as involved as the others make it appear. Yes, when you open your document, choose 'No' to open the document with the current data source. Add the correct datasource. You can expect that NO DATA will appear. You must update the 'Match Fields'mappings. They were cleared when you chose not to attach the existing datasource. You can expect that NO DATA will appear. You must update the 'Match Fields'mappings. They were cleared when you chose not to attach the existing datasource. That suggests you're using the «AddressBlock» field. IMHO - and many others would agree - you're far better off directly inserting the fields you need, where you want them, from the Insert Merge Field dropdown. You have far better control that way and the extra steps you've described wouldn't be needed when changing datasources. Cheers Paul Edstein [MS MVP - Word]. Hello, when you do that, you loose the sorting done in the mail merging document. For Example: You prepare a mail merge document MailMerge.docx. It points on c:/PathA/Data.xlsx. In the Word you sort the data by Date. Then you change the Excel to this path c:/ PathB/Data.xlsx. When you open MailMerge.docx and Answer 'No' to the SQL prompt.
