Converting Merge Docs
Had the same thing happen at our office 6 months ago. My
assistant and I (out of 120 employees) were only ones with an Access database. We tried to convert access 97 to 2000 but it failed, Had to copy the format of each table and then copy and paste the data to the new format. The other thing that happened (because our tech didn't think of us) was that the data base ended up being stored in a different location on the network, thus the template docs couldn't make the link. We re-established the database link by naming it the same as it was before, but then when we opened each doc. had to go to Tools Options, General, and tick off the box to re-establish the link and resave the template. That was my experience. Solved the initial problem, but..... believe me they continue! SandyE -----Original Message----- We recently installed new pc's at our office which are running Win XP and Office XP. All of the people that had merge documents (with form/data files on the network) are having trouble when they pull up their docs. It's acting as if it doesn't know where the data.doc is located for that particular merge form. Any clues as to how to solve that??? We are having to manually go out to user desks and re-link those files. Everyone was on Office 2000 before. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks! . |
