I have created a mail merge in access from:

http://www.members.shaw.ca/AlbertKallal/msaccess/msaccess.html


However, I have this error message pop up after I press the 'add new
template' button as follows:
Run-time error 5174
This file could not be found.
Try one or two of the following
* Check spelling of the name of the dir
*Try a different file name
(\\file\...\word\merge.888)

Does anybody know what this means? And how can I fix it to work properly?

Any help would be great thanks.
 
sorry about the duplicate question,I had a message say that it was not
successful, so posted again.
 
Here is the first question:

Does the sample download work on your pc?

In other words, if the sample don't work, then likely your application will
not work.

Also, I notice that your path name looks like a server. My code assumes that
you are running a split DB.

You could try manually creating the folder call "word", as my code tries to
create this dir if it does not exist (often, due to permissions etc, that
folder cannot be crated).

Further, if you read the notes here:

http://www.members.shaw.ca/AlbertKallal/wordmerge/page2.html

The above shows you how to specify a hard code path, instead of a "relative"
path to where the code is running. However, to me it looks like your are
trying to run a mdb from a server.....and you should thus run a split db,
and run the code from a front end on a local pc...
