Bizarre error message

[Sean]

Using Word 2000 and Excel 2000, on an XP Pro Dell
laptop... just doing a small form letter merge (210
records or so). Every time I try to insert mail merge
fields from my data source file into my Word document, I
get this bizarre error message popping up on my screen:

"Session timed out. Please log in again."

I've tried everything I can: cut-and-pasted data into new
files, rebooted... and still the error message.

Any ideas?

Frustrated,
-Sean

Hi Sean,

New one on me... Are you ever hooked up to a network with
this machine?
