I've been getting an error when I try to run MS Query from Excel 2000. I've got office 2000 with Outlook 2003.
Basically, I try to start a "New Database Query..." and then I get a window pop up saying trying to install for first time use. After a moment, I get an error message with the text:
"Error 2709. An internal error occured. ({BF83B991-Df02-11D1-9395-00A0C90F27F9})"
I've found a few other folks with this problem but no solution. I did however figure out a workaround.
1. When the Windows Installer window pops up, I hit cancel to stop the process.
2. I then get an error message saying MS Query is already running but not responding. I close that window.
3. MS Query is now open in the background. I again try to create a new query from Excel using "New Database Query...".
4. This time it works, continue as normal.
I hope this is useful to others. I tried to reply to the threads I found that were not resolved, but the discussions where closed for replies.
Cheers,
Albert
