I am not sure the reason(s) why Microsoft won't make the Parameter Queries
available for MailMerge.
*My guess* is that the GUI required for Parameter Dialog is a function of
Access and Query processing is a function of JET. Since JET is more or less
a"shared" service in Windows, it is available for Word MailMerge. Since
Parameter Dialog is a function of Access (which may or may not be in the
memory when you run MailMerge), there is nothing to process the required
Parameter Dialog and hence Parameter Queries cannot be used and therefore
not available / visible.

Van,
Thanks for the response!
Very interesting! I experience a problem anytime I use a parameter whether
it's a simple select , union or whatever. What is your reasoning it mentioning
Parameters as a problem?
