I get the following error when trying to execute a mail merge from access.
Title: ODBC Microsoft Access Driver Login Failed<br>
Body: Could not find file: "E:\Ryan\Access Database.mdb"
The problem here is my database is called fe.accdb and it is located in E:\Ryan\Access Database\fe.accdb and I cant find any reference whatsoever to the path above in either Access or Word.
Any idea where this reference would be?
The path to you ODBC database is configured in your ODBC settings. Where this is updated for Office 2007 depends if you have a 32 or 64 bit OS.
If you have a 32-bit OS use the Database Sources (ODBC) under Administrative Tools
If you have a 64-bit OS use Database sources (ODBC) from c:\windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
Office 2007 is a 32 bit application and can only read 32-bit ODBC data souces. Using the settings under Administrative tools on a 64-bit machine sets ODBC for 64-bit applications. Confusing I know.
Here’s one reference on this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942976
