Re: Word Mailmerge problem

My 1st entry in this forum.

I'm having this problem:

We use a VBA program that uses word objects to process mailmerge
documents, which for the most part works very well.
In this one instance I get an error message that tells me the document is
not a mailmerge document.
There are 3 people that have acces to this program, and the directory
where the word document is stored.
Myself and two others, Sandy and Jim.
Sandy is always able to run the program without any problems, and she
originally created the word documents.
Jim and I can't run the job without getting the above error.
I copied the word documents into another folder on the same network, and
the job runs great for me, but that's not a real solution.

we are all on word 2003, except jim and I have sp3, where Sandy has sp2.
I've checked the authorities thru the network paths, to insure we all have
the same authorities
I'm wondering if there is some security/authority restrictions within
word, that can't readily be seen.

Appreciate any help

i host my own web site. it's not that hard and is inexpensive. i have

a

DSL connection and a static IP address from my ISP (AT&T). purchased a
domain name and use zoneedit.com for a DNS server it's free for up to 5
domain names and easy to use. you can get XAMPP from apachefriends.org
which is also free and includes MySQL, PHP, Apache web server, PERL and
more. it's very easy to install and setup and you don't have to pay
monthly fees!

Is it possible to do this even if you don't have a static IP address? I
seem to recall that there was some service that did a ping-type of thing
with your webserver and updated the DNS with the new IP address when it
changed. (This is going back several years, so I may have missed a
component or three there.)

Also, what OS are you using and what kind of horsepower/specs on the
server? I am looking at low-end, since this would be very low volume and
low budget. The primary goal would be to finally get my butt in gear in
learning how to do this stuff. Given the low-end budget, can anyone chime
in as to whether I would be better off using Win98 or Ubuntu to host the
XAMPP webserver? I'd prefer Win98, since I know that and am still getting
my feet wet in Ubuntu. (Yes, according to apachefriends.org, Win98 is a
supported host OS.)

I tried WAMP before, but couldn't do anything with it, since there was a
problem with MySQL, IIRC. XAMPP appears to "solve" those type of
problems.

TIA,
Dan

Is this what you're talking about?

By golly, that is it, I'm pretty sure.

Thanks!
