From Word 2007, when I click on my outlook contacts folder for a mail merge, I get the message, "Error has occurred-the Microsoft Office Access Database could not find object. I don't even have Access on my computer.

How do I reconnect the outlook contacts to show up instead of this error message? It used to work.

Hi rec,

Have you tried repairing Office (eg Word Options|Resources|Diagnose)?

I believe the Access reference has something to do with having the MS Business Contacts Manager installed. If it is installed and you don't use it, you might try uninstalling it.
