errors after moving mdb

[Anthony]

Hi,
After moving an existing database created in Access97 to a
new computer, I recieve errors when I try to print certain
reports. I have copied the entire folder on to the new
computer and it opens and saves data fine but when I print
a letter and it launches Word then i recieve an error
saying it cannot find the data base when it tries to merge
the fields into the letter. Is it a Word problem or an
Access problem and how does one fix it.

Word is using a presaved merge path to the database files. They aren't there
any more. I believe you can fix it by creating a new merge.

Thanks, I need a little help in setting up that path.

That would go more to a Word newsgroup, but let me give it a shot first. I'd
just select all the text in the Word.doc and copy/paste into a new document
and set up a new merge using the wizard in Word. I think you'll have less
problems doing it that way. I know it will work that way, but someone in a
Word newsgroup may be able to give you an easier way.
