Microsoft Office Publisher >> Mail merge error message

by Bob » Sun, 05 Oct 2003 04:47:23 GMT

When I try to open data source, edit publication, etc. in
Mail merge, I keep getting this message: Mail merge cannot
continue.
I have removed and reloaded Office 2000 (I have Publisher
2000), and that doesn't help. What can I do?

What is your merge source? Is there an error message other than "Mail Merge cannot
continue?"

The error "Mail merge cannot continue" is the only one
that comes up and appears while in Publisher 2000 when I
try to edit or call up data base. The list or document is
actually in Access. Does this help? Can you help me?

If you told us what version of Windows you are using and more information
you may get somewhere.

You also don't tell us what type of file you are trying to merge

You also don't state if you have applied all the Office 2000 updates which
includes the Publisher 2000 update.

How do you expect proper assistance when you don't assist yourself by giving
all the necessary information.

Trust me, we know how to fix everything if you give the correct information
necessary to help you.

I use Windows 98, Publisher 2000. I have downloaded the
latest MDAC at Ed Bennett's suggestion with no change. I'm
not sure what other downloads you are referring to? When I
try to bring up a list which was created in Publisher, I
get this error message: "Mail merge cannot continue".
Although the file is created in Publisher, it is located
in Access. This situation has just started occurring;
don't know what has happened to make the message appear.
Could you please direct me to the web page that show me
the Office 2000 updates? Any other suggestions?

Bob export the data from Access to CSV (Comma Separated Values) and you will
(or should not) have any issues.

The Merge in Publisher is pretty basic and does not accept all the
formatting and other features from Access.

You are better using a super sophisticated database like MS Works 4.5a with
Publisher as it gives *NO* issues.

If the MDAC updated components did not help and the JET engine update, make
sure you have all the current updates of Internet Explorer as it also has
components that affect the Merge in Publisher.

I am using publisher 98 and doing a mail-merge on an 8 1/2

post card has a text box to insert the name and address 
for the mail merge) The mail merge will start to print and

says "numeric overload" and it will stop printing. I then 
start it over from where it stopped and it will print

Excel.
Please tell me what I am doing wrong and how to resolve

I'm using Publisher 2002 and Outlook 2003.  I'm trying to send an e-mail 
using Publisher (embedded rather than an attachment). When I click on "Send 
as E-mail" I receive the following message, "Publisher cannot mail your 
publication because part of the mail system is missing.  Reinstall your 
program and try again."  I reinstalled all of Microsoft Office (including 
Outlook), restarted my computer, and when trying to e-mail the publication, I 
still received this message.  I changed my default mail program to Outlook 
Express 6.0.  I still received the same error message.  I've changed my 
default mail program back to Outlook 2003.  Any suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated!
