Word 2003 - Mail Merge / Temp Folder Problem
Hello there
I have got a small problem, but I'm not able to solve it. First the description: I start Tools Letters and ?? Mail Merge At the third point, when I want to "create a new list" MS Office says: (not original text... just what i've got in my mind) Cannot create the list. Temp folder is missing. Create a temp folder. Yeah... The message was much longer. Tomorrow I can give a more detailed information about the error message. In "Environment Variables" there are two correct entries "TMP" and "TEMP". User has Admin rights. Any Ideas??? Please help. Thank you in advance. Greets, Tobi |

Word 2003 - Mail Merge / Temp Folder Problem
You do not have to use the mailmerge facility to create the data source.
See the article "Creating a Mail Merge Data Source" at: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMe...DataSource.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Word 2003 - Mail Merge / Temp Folder Problem
It looks as if you have already covered the obvious bases.
Does the user have full read/write ("change" ?) permissions for the TEMP folder? Is this by any chance in a Terminal Services environment? Does it make any difference if the permissions for the TEMP are set up so that "Everyone" can access it?
