Edit Data Source is only dimmed when there's no data source source chosen yet or it's an inappropriate type of editing. If you first choose an existing tab-delimited text file or an Excel document, for example, to be the data source for a Catalog or other type of Merge, then the Edit Data Source button becomes available. I've just done it. If you choose the Office Address Book, however, you can't edit that from the DMM. Similarly if you chose an existing Labels document (one you created for a previous Label merge) for a new Labels merge, the Edit Labels button should be available undimmed. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP MacOffice Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - **2004**, X or 2001.
