Hi,
We're running Office 2000 at our organization. We've been using an
Access database that is shared on the network; we have forms in the
database in which when we click on a button, data is retrieved using a
query and exported to a Mail Merge Word document. It has worked fine
for years. Recently we purchased a bunch of new computers on which we
installed Office 2000. On these new computers, when we open the Access
forms and click the button to generate the Word document, it gives us
an error message "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to
Access". But everything works fine on the older machines. We haven't
changed any settings or upgraded to a newer version of Office. Does
anybody know what's causing this? The people who set this up for us are
no longer around so we have no clue what's giving us this problem for
only the newer machines.
Thanks,
Shal
