I am having difficulty connecting my Excel database to my Word mail merge document via DDE.
I go through all the steps to establish a connection via the mail-merge wizard.
Document type: Directory
Select starting document > Start from existing document > chose open to open "DT-WPE.dot"
Select recipients > Use an existing list > Browse > "mailmerge.xls"
Confirm data source > MS Excel Worksheets via DDE
Named or cell range > "dderange" a named range in my workbook referring to CONTROL_1!$A:$EH
Word in unable to merge because it states I have all invalid fields.
This is not working for me. Could it be my range is not right? I'm trying to establish Columns A through EH as my range on worksheet CONTROL_1
Thoughts?
