Re: Error# 5852 Requested Object Is Not Available

I haven't tried to run it manually, that was my next step though (to
try to recreate the merge/datasource connection).

The file that has the information in it to do the merge from (it is a
text file created earlier in the script) is in the same location as the
"templates" for the main merge document. All of these locations are on
a server which both profiles have access to. I can see that the data
source has been updated by the timestamp, but it just won't create the
merges/open the new documents step.

I have copied just about everything that I can (that isn't read-only
locked) from the original profile to the new profile. I've even copied
over the normal.dot, thinking that may be part of the issue. I've also
looked in Word under the original profile for Add-Ins or COMs, but
there are none listed. I am truely at a loss for this!!! Any other
ideas of something I may be missing?

Thanks in advance,
HP

Can the merge be run manually when logged in under the second profile. I
suspect that the datasource is not available to that user because it is in
the original users C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\My Data
Sources folder.

I have a VB Script that executes to create a mail merge. The only
problem is that it works fine under one Windows profile, but when I log
in as a different user (same rights), it fails with the above error
message. What am I missing? A template? A registration?

The script executes correctly until this is performed (which is when I
get the error message listed above):

With oWord.ActiveDocument.MailMerge
.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
.Execute
End With

Again, this works when executed under one profile, but not the new
profile.
