You have to revert to the old DDE connection method to use parameter
queries - check Word Tools|Options|General|"Confirm conversions on
open", go through the connection procedure again, and check the DDE
option when it is offered.

Thanks Peter. After making this change I now get the
following error when I first load the file;
"The operation cannot be completed because of dialog or
database engin failures. Please try again later."
However, after re-connecting to the database everthing
works OK. This method appears to be a bit messy, but at
least it works.
Thanks for your advice.
Andrew
