I'm trying to do a Simple mail merge to our production Database. Our Testing
Access database works fine, where I'm able to open the query through the
"open source" within the mail merge function of Word, but When I try to do
the same exact steps with our Production Access database I get the following
error. Both databases are fairly identical in data and structure.

"Word can not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft Access to complete
the current task."

I'm running a Dell optiplex 745 machine with Windows XP sp2 and using
Microsoft Word 2000 sp3 and trying to connect to a query in Microsoft Access
2000 sp3.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
