2007 MailMerge with Excel(DDE) requires Excel file to be opened fi
We have upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2007.
Several WORD MailMerge documents that use EXCEL with DDE are not working correctly after the change. Under 2003 we opened the Word document, it opened the Excel data file, the dialog to connect the two was displayed and a YES answer displayed the MailMerge document with the underlying data displayed. Under 2007, the connection between Word and Excel is established only if we manually open the Excel file first. If the Excel file is not opened before the Word mailmerge file then the connection process fails. All files are on a network share and that network directory has been setup as a Trusted Location in both Word and Excel. Not sure it matters but was one of the things I tried attempting to resolve the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. JPal |
