Merge to New Document hangs
Hi
I have a Word2003 mailmerge that opens from an Access database. All is fine , however, Word 2007 users have notified me that when they try to then 'merge to new document' word just hangs. Word07 open the documents in compatibility mode, is this related in anyway? Your thoughts and suggestions please. -- Darren Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...merge/200906/1 |

Merge to New Document hangs
Can you tell how Word is trying to connect to Access? Is it DDE? If so,
which version of Access? Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk darren via OfficeKB.com wrote: Hi I have a Word2003 mailmerge that opens from an Access database.

Merge to New Document hangs
Hi Peter
ACC2003 opens the Word2003 doc along the lines of strConnection = "DSN=MS Access Database;DBQ=" & CurrentProject.FullName & " ;FIL=MS Access;" objWord.MailMerge.OpenDataSource _ Name:=CurrentProject.FullName, _ LinkToSource:=True, _ Connection:=strConnection, _ ReadOnly:=True, _ SQLStatement:="SELECT * FROM [" & strTbl & "]" The merge itself all works fine. Just when a 2007 user then goes 'merge to new document' that it hangs. Manage to test on another 2007 machine after original post and it worked fine so now seems to be something specific to that user. Thanks for your assistance.
