Can someone help me with this problem?
The error message in word is "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection
to Microsoft Access to complete the current task".
The email I got from my client is "This is the problem a user is having when
trying to do a mail merge from
word connecting to an Access DBF file. The file is sitting on the
server and up until about August it worked. At that point a "Database
Guy" implemented an updated layout/structure to the database and had the
one lady who use to connect to it now connect to the server. This was
because of access issues by other users if it wasn't sitting on a
server. It looks like the issue might have something to do with the
linking of the database but I am not sure. My database experience is
limited and more importantly unused for the past few years. The
attached MS support article referees the exact error."
I also have a word doc with a screen shot of the error message is someone
wants to see it.
Many thanks
Arthur
