Access 2003 Gives "File Not Error" when linking to Word

T

Tim

Hi all. I have a customer who had their MS Access(es) updated by their
head office and now one system cannot link it's data to Word as it has
in the past.

The system in question is running 2000 Pro SP4 with Access 2003
(11.5614.5606). The other 2 are running XP Home SP2 with Access 2002
(10.2627.2625). The XP systems are fine. It seems strange to me that if
all the system where updated that they would have different versions
now.

Here is the problem in detail;

A database is opened, and a search criteria is entered. Then they click
and range button to link the data to a word template (eg a thank you or
receipt letter). Normally you see a quick box open up about DDE and Word
opens with the data embedded in the form letter. When it fails, a box
pops up from MS Access giving the "file not found error". No DDE box
pops open, nor does Word try to open.

Any ideas?

Thanks In Advance,

- Tim -
