mail merge - routing document through email

I have a word document that gets merged data from an access database. The
merging of data works great. Printing these new documents also works great.

But the problem is that when I try to route these new documents out through
email, the system seems to want to find an email address in my Outlook
addressbook rather than using the one from the Access database which is
included as a merge field in the Word document. I must have something set
wrong somewhere, but can't figure out what.

I have done this successfully before, so am really confused here.

I've tried today using Word and Access 2003 and again with Word and Access
2007.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Are you being given the opportunity to select the field in the data source
that contains the email addresses?

Tell us exactly what steps you are taking.
