Error 282

I am having a old application built in VB6.0 and Access and this application
reads the MS Word electronic claim forms.

I have Office 2007, Now problem is when the electronic claim form is on my
machine, any where on hard drive or memory stick the data transfer is fine.
But , when the electronic claim form is on network location, I get "error 282
- No foreign application responded to DDE initiate". I searched a lot about
this but could not find any concrete solution. It looks like a Office 2007
specific issue because it works fine with 2003 and lower versions.

The piece of code throwing error 282 is :

With frm_Msg.lb_MSWLink

..LinkMode = 0

..LinkTimeout = 100 'set timeout period to 10 seconds

..LinkTopic = "Winword|" & frm_MDIQLAS.cd_datasource.FileName 'set up dde
link to Word document

..LinkItem = sBookMark 'link to Word bookmark

..LinkMode = vbLinkManual 'set up data transfer mode

..LinkRequest 'request data from Word form

..LinkMode = 0

..Caption = Trim(.Caption) 'Unfilled bookmarks come through as spaces. We
don't want them.

End With



Any help on this will be highly appreciated

Thanks
