What type of database are you using, and which version of Word (or Office)?

I have created several "forms" for my company that uses a mail merge data
base. When I begin a new document with these forms, the data base is
already
attached to the form, but I cannot edit the data base. Word returns the
followin dialog box: "This operation cannot be completed becasue of dialog
or
data base engine failiure. Please try again later." Does anyone know how
to
fix this or had the same problem?
