Has this worked before?
Which version of Word/Access are you using?
If you open Access and look at Tools|Options|Advanced, is "Ignore DDE
Requests" checked?
If you leave Access open, then try again, does Word connect successfully? If
not, if you also open the database you are trying to use, in Access, then
try again, does WOrd connect successfully?

and then the app freezes and the status bar displays "Waiting for MS
Access
to accept DDE Commands".
Does anyone have a recommendations.
