Question : Mail Merge Access Query to Word Document Update Question??
I have a Word document that I'm setting up with a (Form Letter) Mail Merge of fields from a Access database using a Query stored in the db that basically restricts the records to the current customer record.
When I open the Word Document the merged fields will show the correct customer information. If I change the customer number in the query stored in the Access db and Select All then F9 on the Word Document to update the fields, the information never changes. It seems to only change when the document is initially opened.
Is there something that I'm missing??? How can I get those fields to update without having to close/open the Word document???
Thanks,
ET
Answer : Mail Merge Access Query to Word Document Update Question??
Yes. It seems to cache the recordset. I suppose that it fits with the way that Mail Merge is designed to be used, and that changing the datasource details after the recordset was not expected.
