Access 2013 Run time error 4605

[jessss]

Good Morning,

Hi, I have an access database which in one form opens a word mail merge file which is linked to the database tables. In 2007 and 2010 Access it was fine no problems however since we moved over to 2013 access I have a got the error message "The OpenDataSource method or property is not available because this command is not available for reading."

I believe this is caused because the mail merge file is read only. However the file needs to be read only so it doesn't get saved over, does anyone know any way around this error?

Thank you!

Only for troubleshooting, why not try to open a file which is not read only, to find out if that is the problem or you have to look for something else!
