Hi,
I have fixed my problem. I realised that the Microsoft Access Database DSN did not include the *.accdb driver. I deleted the existing DSN and created a new one. This allowed me to select the ODBC driver that worked for both file types.

I cameto realise that I was only having this problem on machines that have been upgraded to excel 2007 and not on machines with full virgin installations. On install both try to create the appropriate DSN but one with the same name already exists on the machines being upgraded and the creation fails.

I hope this helps others.

Hi,

This might be an issue with the way you have your field set up.
Right-click on your field and select TOGGLE FIELD CODES until you can see the word "mergefield".

Assuming the name of your field is "mydatefield" , the code below should give you the required format.

{ MERGEFIELD mydatefield \@"DD/MM/YYYY" \*Mergeformat }

Good luck...

First thing: Have yo downloaded *all* the updates available for Office 2007 from Windows Update?

If the First Name and Last name are equal to both work sheets, I will just sort them by First Name and Last name and copy the results into a separate work sheet. If the names are different you will have to use Access: This can be easily done with Access and SQL, just import both work books into different tables to access and use the create query wizard, play with the results until you will get the result you want. Access will also solve the duplicate problem easily. Very important: You will have to use join properties: Read help about join properties and understand how this works... Afterward you can export it back to Excel or use Copy/Paste. If you can't use Access and have only Excel: You will have to use Vlookup on various fields until you will get the result you want. Its a hard work but in the end you will get the same result as access. Let me know what happend Daniel
