DDE Connections

Hello there. Got a question for all you bright folks out there.

There is someone (2 people) who has an MS Word (2000) document that uses DDE to connect to a MS Access (95) database. The word document is used in a mail merge. Now, everything worksfine on the document, but recently they received new computers that got upgraded to Win98 from Win95.

Now that they have the new machines the document doesn't work. Well it works on the one machine, but not quite correctly. The other one just pops up with the error message below.

"Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to MS Access to complete the current task."

I searched on MS Knowledgebase and there were several things, but the solutions didn't really fit. (ie: A table with quotes, etc)

I was just wondering if anyone has run into something like this before. Any ideas are appreciated, and if I left out any informaton let me know and I will supply more.
