Word gives msg "the procedure entry point ?WzCopyTrunc@MWblStrings

[POPEYERALPH]

PAGPBGHPAG@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library WKWbl.dll" Why
does this appear? How to correct it to access my documents? Any help
appreciated. Thanks, Ralph

What are you trying to do when you get this error message? What is the title
bar on the message box?

When this comes up is when I try to access my address list in "my documents"
to edit it. My file is called "address.wdb" and since I reloaded my Works it
comes up with the error line "WksDB.exe entry point not found" and the "the
procedure entry point ?WzCopyTrunc@MWbStr etc

Have you uninstalled the Microsoft Works Suite Add-in for Word?

I don't believe you get this error message in Word. You probably see it
in Works. The error message is usually caused by installing Office 2007
beta software on the computer. To fix it, uninstall Works by clicking
on Start | Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs, then manually delete
the Microsoft Works folder (usually something like c:\Program
Files\Microsoft Works), and reinstall Works from your Works CD.

OK I will try to uninstall and reinstall the works discs

I don't think I uninstalled the works suite add-in for word. I will check. I
don't think my works suite 2001 contains an add-in, but I did go to
microsoft downloads for updates and I think one of them was an add-in. I will
check. Meanwhile I think I will go ahead and uninstall the works and try to
re-install.

OMG It worked!!!! I uninstalled and re-installed and the darned thing brought
up my file and allowed me to edit. Happy Camper. Thanks to all Ralph
