Word could not re-stablish a dde connection to microsoft Excel

[Rajeev Dhungel]

Dear Friends,

I receive the error message while using Mail Merge at word document. While
clicking the Get Data------> Open Data source, it prompts to select database
file. While I select the excel database file it gives the error message "Word
could not re-stablish a dde connection to microsoft Excel to complete the
curent task".

Please help me to rectify this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Careful now...you don't want the "do anything you want crew" coming
after you for being a newsgroup Nazi.

Open Word, then click Help, Detect and Repair. If that doesn't fix the
issue, then post your question over to the Office group so the folks
there can help you.
