Default Mail Merge problem

From what I have read I'm no the only one but here it goes, same error
as everyone else "can not obtain information from data source."
Outlook well not export mail merge either it exports but opens blank
pages. Running Vista Ultimate (that in itself is a joke but left for
another discussion) with Office 2007. Worked fine when I ran XP, got
new laptop and transfered files and bam lots of problems. Anyway, IE
does not have mail option under programs like some posts have talked
about it is missing. Tried manually in Word to find PST file to mail
merge and will not find it I have tried to highlight the box in
contact properties show this file as an email folder but the box is
not highlighted. Any help is appreciated I use this a lot and have
now resigned myself to cut copy paste to mail letter and I'm starting
to think I should go back to XP.

Default Mail Merge problem

Post some actual information. You posted none. We have no idea what you are
doing, so we cannot tell what you are doing wrong. Be complete. Be specific.
Assume we cannot read minds. Realize that "bam lots of problems" tells us
nothing. Read the Help files. Read existing online information.
