I'm having great difficulty getting a Word2k document to embed into my Access2k reports. I can use Excel files OK though.

First let me describe what I am trying to do:

I want to take a form that was created by someone else and use Access for the data entry process. When I attempt to insert the Word file I get the following error:


A problem occurred while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server.

Try one or more of the following:
-Make sure you're connected to the network server where the OLE server application is located.

-Close the OLE server and restart it outside of Microsoft Access. Then try the original operation again within Microsoft Access.

-Reinstall teh OLE server to ensure that it's registered.

After clicking "OK", All I get is an empty object box. Any ideas why I am getting this error on Word files but not any other types?
