Mail merge to Publisher - data link issue

J

Jeff Byrd

I have a document designed in Publisher 2003 that I want to do a merge with
a query in Access 2003. When I choose the Access front end on the local
computer to link to and test the connection I get a "Microsoft Data Link
Error" window that states "Test onection failed because of an error
initializing provider. Cannot start you application. The workgroup
information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user."

The Access front end opens fine and the workgroup is joined properly. I
have tried adding the /wkgrp switch to the command line. The publisher
document will link fine with a separate dbf file.

We have Word documents that merge fine with this same Access Front end.

Any Thoughts?

Jeff
