SYMPTOMS

When a table is USEd and then sent to a Microsoft Word version 6.0 for Windows mail merge, Word 6.0 returns a "File access denied" error message.

RESOLUTION

Before using the Mail Merge Wizard, make sure that the Exclusive check box in the Settings dialog box is not selected. By default, the Exclusive check box is not selected; therefore, all files are USEd as SHARED.
