Re: Word mail merge data source

The chances are that it's a permissions issue, probably to do with the
permission to create a file on the network drive - e.g. if your database is
a .mdb, Jet will try to create a .ldb file in the same folder as the .mdb
and will fail if you don't have the necessary permissions.

I am trying to use VB using OLE to change the datasource in a Word mail
merge
file to a server drive from the C: drive. When I try to make this change
to
another location on the C drive, there is no problem. When I try to use
the
UNC path to the server drive, I get an OLE Exception error.

Anyone have a similar problem, or have any ideas on why Word will not let
me
make this change to the datasource location? Any ideas on how to get
around
the problem?

Any and all ideas appreciated,
Mark
