Trying to establish a dde link with an access database
I have a Word 2000 mailmerge main document and I am trying to ensure a dde
link with an Access 2000 database. Using the Mail Merge Helper, I tried to Open the data source. I have seleted the files of type as MS Access Databases (*.mdb; *.mde) and then navigated to the actual database in the dialogue box. Then I clicked Open and get the Confirm Data Sourcedialogue box which allows me to select 'MSAccess Databases via DDE (*.mdb; *.mde)'. Having selected that, I clicked OK. A Microsoft Word message box opens that says "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft Access to complete the current Task." The database is on the same drive as the the mailmerge template and I am not in a networked environment. Am I doing something wrong here? dixie |
