Hello,
Since I installed Office 2003, I'm experiencing problems with an
automation procedure in Access (created in Access 2000) that colonizes
fields in a Word merge file. I keep getting a warning saying that it is
not a merge file, even thought it has been predefined as such with all
the fields. I relinked it to a query, but when I run the code, it won't
reconize the file as a merge file. I redid the merge file using Office
2003 and it still won't hold a connection to the source. Has anyone had
this problem?

There is one element you didn't mention having recompiled – the
automation procedure itself. In my experience they are very touchy,
even the seemingly simple ones, so if you haven't done so, rewrite it
step by step. If you had either or both (old) applications running
when it was originally written, do the same thing again (with the new
versions of course). It may sound like voodoo, but quite possibly
there are system calls going on that you're unaware of which also need
to be updated in a particular sequence (eg registry settings).
If that doesn't work, try Cindy Meister. I found her articles on mail
merge invaluable when automating a 3,000 record merge into Word, and
the 400 page book that resulted printed out like a dream without a
single error. She's the best.
Don't give up!

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
