Default Mail merge from new Contacts folder - error message: can't find ob

I made a couple of new Contact folders, and I want to print labels of all the
contacts in one of them. However, when I choose the Contacts folder (during
the mail merge wizard) as the source, I get an error message "Microsoft
Office Access database engine could not find the object." What can I do to
correct this? Thank you for your help.

Starting the merge from Outlook would obviate problems like this. From your
vague description I can only guess you failed to enable these Contacts
Folders from displaying in your Outlook Address Book Service. Post precise
details if that is not the case.

Default Mail merge from new Contacts folder - error message: can't fin

Hi, Russ,
Thanks for your help. No, I didn't do anything except create the folders.
I didn't realize I had to do something else (since I've added them before and
didn't do anything). If you could let me know what to do to remedy this, I'd
appreciate it.

BTW, I did merge the addresses from Outlook, after I tried it from Word
several times, and it did work. However, might there be times that I would
want to originate from Word? If so, I'd appreciate your help.

Also, another question that always confuses me with a mail merge. When I
choose to edit, a new document opens, but then I never know what to do with
the two documents from there. What do I do when I get the second document
edited properly? Thanks!

Enable each folder as an email address book in its properties.
Part 2 is too vague. Answer would depend on what type of merge you are
performing and with what steps. Post those to the mail merge group.
