mail merge - database server

[rec]

I am using a single home computer with office outlook 2007. I want to use mail merge with word and recipient list from excel. When I click use existing list it wants me to connect to a database server. I tried choosing one and I really don;t know what I am supposed to choose. How do I get a connection and which database server am I supposed to choose?



Is it necessary to have a database server for using mail merge even on a single computer?

All you need to do is to point your mailmerge main document to the Excel workbook.
