The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Why does Word 2007 mail merge not display all Access 2007 queries & tables?

Asked by iss_it in Microsoft Office Suite, Microsoft Access Database, Microsoft Word

Tags: , , ,

I have upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2007.  In Access 2007 I am able to view and execute all queries and tables that existed in Access 2003.  But in Word 2007 mail merge, when I go to "Select Recipients/Use Existing List..." to select the Access DB to be used as the data source, the "Select Table" pop-up does not display all of the queries & tables.

After doing some troubleshooting, I was led to believe that the query problem has something to do with the complexity of the query.  I performed a test where I copied the contents of a Word 2007 displayed query into a query that was not diaplayable in Word 2007 (did this in Access).  After saving the updated query, I was able to view it in Word 2007 mail merge.  Instead of going any further due to the many possible causes, I figure I would throw this one out to the "Experts."

As for the table problem, I have absolutely no idea why they do not display in Word 2007 mail merge.

One other thing with reference to this problem is that the queries and tables are ODBC linked to an Oracle DB.  The query the is displayed in Word 2007 mail merge is a simple "SELECT * FROM table" as compared to the one that is not displayed which is much more complex.  But the key thing is that I had no problem with any of this using Word 2003.
