Description gary_kai 2007-11-11 17:17:50 UTC 
When trying to setup an Address book source, I selected Access Database.
The connection to the database was successful but it give an error: The data
source does not contain any tables.

Comment 2 h.ilter 2007-11-19 15:51:14 UTC 
Could you please provide such database sample?
Thanks in advance.
Comment 3 h.ilter 2007-11-20 16:10:26 UTC 
As I see you must connect an Access database via Menu 
File - New or 
File - Wizards - Address Data Source...
before you can use it for the mail merge.
The connecting such database should be also possible with the mailmerge wizard.

NOTE: The fix works, but it is not possible to finish the mail merge wizard.
Office hangs when I want to save the started document. 
Master with same build-id works (Windows Vista)
Don't know if this issue is responsible but there is something wrong
Therefore reopened.
