I am having exactly this problem having just upgraded from Access97 to 2007 (which is a crock anyway if you ask me, where are all the nice Table, Query, Forms etc - the 2007 version with them all down the side is a right dog's dinner if you ask me).
Anyway, I am about to try this
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918594
which I though might help Pete, and if that doesn't work will resort to re-writing the SQL query that opens the mail-merge main document!
Anyway, I am hoping this forum helps me a bit!

1. Which particular method worked?
2. Which version of Windows are you using on the workstations (i.e. not on
the SBS server?)
3. To find out whether access is on the PATH you would need to know the
fully qualified path name of the specific version of Access that Word needs
to open. The file name will probably be MSACCESS.EXE. You may be able to
find the full path name from e.g. an icon on the desktop. You can find out
which folders are in the PATH either by opening a command windows (old-style
"DOS box" and typing PATH, then enter. Otherwise it depends on your version
of Windows, e.g. try something like Control Panel-Systempossibly "Advanced
System Settings" in Vista-Advanced-Environment variables.
