I am creating a letter to be sent to all physicians who performed a procedure during a selected month. &nbsp;I have created the mailing list in MS Access and want to use the data in a mail merge within MS Word.<br />
<br />
Within the Mail Merge Wizard, when I click on the &quot;Browse&quot; button to locate the &quot;accdb&quot; database in my folder, I do not see any MS Access databases.<br />
<br />
I do have read write privileges to the source folder.<br />
<br />
Is there a toggle I need to check to allow MS Word to see MS Access db's?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
