When you open the database in Access directly, do you see any dialog boxes
(e.g. a database password dialog box?)
If so, when you connect from Word 2000 and the database is not already open,
Access will display that box - but sometimes it is hidden behind Word, and
Word looks as if it has hung. In that case you can Alt-tab to find the
dialog box.
That's where I'd start, anyway.
