Word Merge Problem from Access

#1

Using Word merge from Access 2002 has just started generating the following
error:
'word cannot start the converter mswrd632 wpc.(5132)'
Has been working fine up till a couple of days ago.
Also happening on client PCs using the same program.
Anyone else having this problem?

Yes. I'm getting the same on client pcs. We are suspecting a MS
update caused it since it started happening to several clients at the
same time. Don't have a great solution yet. Moving everything to
docx may be a solution.

Solution for us was not using a .doc as the merge filename. Change it
to .txt

That worked fine thanks.
I seem to remember changing the merge data file from .txt to .doc some
years ago becuase of a similar MS update problem.

Hi Bob,

Found the culprit.

Has stopped mail merge from working on large Citrix farm I support.
Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Hamish.

Sorry about the delay Hamish, but thanks for your reply.
I've changed the merge data file name to .txt instead of .doc and all seems
well.
