Im trying to get our program to work with MS Word 2003.

our program is a 16bit superbase based program.

when doing a mail merge, it will open word but will not merge the info in.

I get an Application not responding error.

This works fine when the user is logged in as a Power User, but not when logged in with Limited Access.

The info is exported to a text file first, and then merged into a word template (.dot).

it doesnt even bring up the letter to merge into when i get the application not responding error.

does anyone know what the routine for importing info into word is, or if any folders associated with word / windows requires the user to have full control over?

thanks

You might want to look into Insert>File as opposed to Import.

Hi Mike, welcome to the PCHF.

The reason you are getting this error when logging on with LimitedAccess, because it's trying to merge into a tepmlate, and this requires access to C:\Program Files (if i'm not mistaken).

It might just be that you need to give whoever needs the program, Power User level access...at least it's not Local Admin
