Run-time Error '5852' When Searching for Record in Table

The universal fix for Word problems is to delete any of the left over temporary files that Word leaves lying around. They start with a tilde ~ so you can delete all ~*.* files.
Search for any Normal.dot files on the machine. There should be only one. Rename the files. That way you can recover any macros the user might have created. Word will create a new Normal.dot when it re-starts
