merge with word using query with user entered paramiters

I need to take specific data from a access db and merge it with a word
doc. I know how to do the general mail merge using access and word,
but for this I need the user to enter peramiters for the query that the

merge is run from.
If you run the query in access it askes the user to enter a case
number, thus receving records ONLY for that case. If you use this
query for the merge in word, it never askes for the case number and
says that it
contains to few data fields.
Any ideas??

I don't know what version of Access/Word you are using, however, the
following KB article maybe useful.
