Error Message Does Not Give Filename of Missing Data Source

 Last reviewed: February 5, 1998
Article ID: Q109531
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0
  • Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

When you open a document that contains a data source from MS Query, if Word for Windows cannot locate the data source, the error message that occurs does not include the filename of the missing data source. Only a space appears in place of the filename.

This does not happen if the database is from a different data source, such as ODBC (open database connectivity) or Microsoft Excel.

STATUS

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
