Hi,

I am in the IT department. It is Word and Excel 2000 and yes the data is on
the network. The error message only appears on some machibes?

Thanks

Hi ?B?Q2hhcmxpZW1hYw==?=,

Which version of Word is involved? Is the Excel sheet on your local drive, or in
a network location? Have you contacted your IT department about the problem?

When I have a Word document and then I choose Mail Merge etc

After Open data and getting the data source, (Excel spreadsheet) when you
click on Insert Merge Field an immediate error pops up, "The session has time
out. Please login again"
Other users on the same network do not get the message. It is just on some
machines
