mail merge document sometimes hangs

D

Derek Ruesch

I have a mail merge document that receives it's data from
a Microsoft Access database. The query that I use for the
mail merge document prompts you to enter a project number.

This document sits on a server and several people have
access to it. It works fine for everybody except for one
user.

Half the time the mail merge works fine and half the time
it doesn't work. The following happens when the mail merge
doesn't work: The document opens and in the lower left
hand corner of the screen the following message appears:
Waiting for Microsoft Access to Accept DDE Commands. Then
the document just sits there and nothing happens.
Microsoft Access is open but it looks like the
communication between Word and Access is not working. I am
running Microsoft Access 97 and Microsoft Word 97.

Thanks for the help.
