Default Yet another DDE question!

Hi

I am using Win XP, Word 2003 and Access XP/2002 and have the apparenty
common problem with linking to a parameter query in Access. I have tried the
Confirm Conversion at Open route which allows me to choose MS Access database
via DDE BUT I then get the message 'could not re-establish a DDE connection
to MS Access'

So my question is - is this an incompatibility problem, a Windows problem or
what. Not sure where the DDE converter comes from - Windows or Office but
can't find anything on Office 2003 CD to help.

I have a 2nd PC running Win XP and Office XP and got the same query to work
on that using DDE connection route and both machines are up to date with SP2
so don't think any difference in Windows set up. Any help would be much
appreciated.
