I had a software corruption issue. Removed the culprit.
Cannot mail merge in Publisher any longer. Tried to
detect and repair publisher, also uninstalled and re-
installed. Still get the same error:
This operation cannot be completed because of dialog or
database engine failure. Please try again later.
Any suggestions?
