Here is the work around . First, create a query to select a specific record in my access table(s), then turn that query into a Make Table Query which will make a table that I call MergeTable. I then create a macro in wp 10 that will perform a merge with the forms I created in Wordperfect with the data source set to ODBC MergeTable(path). I then create a button on my Access form that will run the Make Table Query and then run the merge.  The Make Table Query will overwrite the table each time its run. In order to avoid the microsoft warning message when opening-running a Wordperfect macro from the vba code Application.FollowHyperlink "wp10macroPath" , use shell function Shell "cmd /c ""wp10macroPath"", vbHide".  Unfortunately, this is a very indirect way to accomplish something that should be easier to automate.
