Default mail merge does not update on new computer

Purchased a new computer, transferrered information over to new computer.
Mail merge worked perfectly on old computer and updated all fields. On new
computer mail merge only updates 3 labels. Please advise. I have lost
several hours trouble shooting this problem.

Windows XP on both computer
MS word 2003 on both computers.

Not enough information. Post the code. Mail merge has never updated
tables. You have to do that yourself. It just merges the contents of
a record to a merge document and sends it somewhere.

Do you get any errors?

But without your code or how you're attempting to run the merge, it
could be anybody's guess.

Is this a question for an Access newsgroup, or one for Word? Your question
may be better answered in a newsgroup appropriate to your problem. This
newsgroup is dedicated to the Microsoft Access database product. The
Microsoft website is not all that clear and may have misdirected you.
