Word mail merge error
In the course of my work, I have created a database to collect results
from tests (scientific type experiments) I have carried out. I have then merged these results into word documents to generate reports about these tests. Both the database and the word templates (*.dot files) I use to merge my documents are stored on my hard drive. I recently re-installed the operating system on my machine and during this process I renamed the folder containing the database. Ever since this point, when I try and open any of the templates or the word documents that have been created from these templates, word crashes with the following error: Unknown error returned from application. Error caught at [file Connect.cpp, line 699], operation cancelled. Contact technical support if this error persists. Through trying many ways to fix this problem, I think I have narrowed the problem down to being related to the fact that the word documents are expecting to find a database in one location and the database is no longer there. However, I have tried putting the database back in its old location to no avail. Does any one have any ideas on how to fix this problem? I have many of these templates, so to create them all over again from scratch would take a long time. Many thanks, in advance! |
