Paul, I really do appreciate your help ... and your patience. I'll try your suggestions tomorrow when I've had a chance to digest everything.

I am developing this application on both my home and school computers, both with Office 2010, and the results are identical. So, whether or not it's an Office in disrepair would seem unusual ... however ... everything appears to work for you. LOL.

I've noticed after having run the code you provided ... I can no longer complete my mailmerges the traditional means. When I open a mailmerge document (outside the VBA) that used to work, I get a consistent error "Error has occurred: The connection for viewing your linked Microsoft Excel worksheet was lost."

When I opt to find the data source, and direct it to the workbook and data holding worksheet, I keep getting prompted to find the data source.

I've lost the ability to merge.
