Word could not parse your query options into a valid sql string
 

I'm doing a mail merge and getting this message come up when I try to filter
the data. Theres nothing obviously wrong with my excel doc that im trying to
attach to word, so i cant see what the problem could be.

Sorry Lizzzzzz,

I accidently sent you a blank reply.

I too am having the same exact problem. Has anyone got back to you about
this problem? For me the problem is inconsistent. Sometimes when I change the
order of a complex filter statement with several levels of and's and or's the
filter will work. How about for you? I'm using word 2003 how about you?

Hi

No no-one has come up with an answer as yet. I do mail merges quite a lot
and this has only ever happened once and its never happened since. I really
don't think I did anything differently do what I normally do.

I can't actually remember now what I was trying to filter out etc, but yes I
am also using word 2003.

So if anyone else has ever seen this message please help out!
Thanks
