error 1919 Configuring ODBC

Every time I tried to open Microsoft Word I get a error message saying, "ERROR-1919, Error configuring ODBC, database source: ms access database, ODBC, Error 6: component not found in the registry, Verify that the file ms access database exists and that you can access it. CANCEL / RETRY / IGNORE." I removed Microsoft Word and reinstalled it but that didn't work, I ran a repair on my operating system hoping to reinstall any missing files but that didn't work either, I talked the techs at Dell but they couldn't help at all. So I loaded my Word Perfect 8 and it works fine but i have a lot of documents in Microsoft Word and I can't get to them. Can any body help me?

    Since you have Windows XP and you have posted in the Works Suite forum, I am assuming you have MS Word 2002 or 2003 in the Works Suite application. The Access Database application is not included in Works Suite. The error message you are receiving is relevant to the Access application. This application is marketed separately and is usually installed along with the MS Office applications. A search of MS Knowledge Base Articles produced only results for Access, none for Word 2002 or 2003. Therefore, I recommend that you repost this in the Software - MS Office Products forum. There are several knowledgeable forum Regulars that should be able to assist you.
