| This is a bug in Microsoft Word related to pathing. MS Query returns a connection string back to Word, which is separated by semi-colons. The problem is that they assume only one directory will be mentioned in the path to data files setting (DFPATH for us), and multiple directories are also separated by semi-colons, causing the problem. To work around it, change the DFPATH setting in the control panel under the DataFlex Driver to "." (a period only), and use a DFPATH environment variable loaded in DOS in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file or use multiple directory pathing in the root name of the tables within your FILELIST.CFG instead. |
