Merge using MSAccess "Taking too Long" Message
I have selected a database using Get Data Source. I have selected "via DDE".
The database opens but I receive a message "The task is taking longer than expected. Do you want to continue waiting?". I select Yes and I continue to receive the message. I want to be able to select a parameter query for the merge, but I can get to that part of the process. Thanks, Karen |

Merge using MSAccess "Taking too Long" Message
Hi ?B?S2FyZW4=?=,
I am using version 2000 for both applications. I have selected a database using Get Data Source. I have selected "via DDE". The database opens but I receive a message "The task is taking longer than expected. Do you want to continue waiting?". I select Yes and I continue to receive the message. I want to be able to select a parameter query for the merge, but I can get to that part of the process. If you try connecting to the database (not this query, but some table) using ODBC, does that work OK? Do you perhaps have the option "Ignore DDE requests" checked in Access Tools/OPtions/Advanced? Is the database already opened by someone else in Exclusive mode?
