Ambiguous Name Detected

For some bizarre reason this error message pops up when
using MS Word 2000 SP2 on XP. Based on the notes, and
technical articles at MS, it tells you to delete the
normal.dot document. Having done that, this error message
persists. What is of more interest, this problem does not
occur if you are not running SP2 of MS Office.
Unfortunately, I cannot roll back and stuck with the
current SP2 version.

Any ideas, or ways around this perplexing quirk?

Thanks
DK

Is this a message you get from opening an Office file or is this a general
Windows message? What is the complete text of the message?

Have a look in tools/macro/macros, if there is a macro
there called "tempdde" or similar, delete it and see if
that resolved the problem.

It happens here quite often due to EDMS crashing.
