Hello,
I have a big Mailmerge database, split into 3 files.
I have two questions.
1. Can I convert a Word 97 mailmerge file into a MS Access database? How?
2. Can I combine two mailmerge files into one?

Thanks very much.

Hi Dan

yes, you can import a Word97 file into Access7 - the import wizard
will guide you through the conversion

If your two mailmerge files have the same type of data in the same
order then it is easy, open one file, go to the end of the data, click
on Insert, File, open the second file and it will be inserted at the
end of the first, delete the row of field names belonging to the
inserted file and you should be set.
