First off, let me state that I am on school computers at my school and
they only have SP1 for office installed. They most likely have few
updates installed as well. I have no access rights on my account
because I am only a student here.
Now, I was trying to create a mail merge from Access 2003 and Word
2003, but it won't work. I have tried restarting the program, but that
still won't work. With my dumb luck it's a server conflict in my
school. Here's exactly what I did step by step:
1. I selected the table that I wanted to do the mail merge with.
2. I went to the OfficeLinks toolbar button and chose 'Merge It with
Microsoft Office Word'.
3. When I clicked it, the 'Microsoft Word Mail Merge Wizard came up.
4. I checked the radio field 'Create a new document and link the data
to it'.
5. I then clicked OK. This is where it messed up. Here are the errors
I got:
Error 1:
Mail Merge Wizard (The Error's Title)
Microsoft Word 2002 is required to run the mail merge wizard.
Error 2 (After I closed Error 1):
Microsoft Visual Basic (Error's Title)
Unexpected error; quitting
***
The wierd thing is, I am using Microsoft 2003. No other Microsoft
Office versions are currently installed. And again, I have very
limited access rights becuase I'm a student and I can't try this at
home because I'm using Microsoft Offcie 2007 Beta. I usually can fix
these things by my self, but this time I can't. How much do you want
to bet it's a school server problem? Please help me.
