Lost ability to have DDE connection with Word--Major road block

A while back I had problems with Access and discovered it was because some critical system files indicated in the code References window had dropped off the copy of Access we were running from a network drive.

This time I have a problem in which I can no longer establish any DDE connection between Access 97 and Word 97 for a certain mail merge doc. I have a hunch the problem could be like the earlier one, but this time I'm totally in the dard as to which files could be missing, assuming that is the cause.

Does any one know which components of Access 97, such as DLL files, etc. govern DDE connections with other Office applications? Also, what about Word files, too?

If any one knows or has another idea why this is happening, help would be most appreciated.
