eliminates a security vulnerability which could allow a malicious user to run arbitrary code on a victim's computer without their approval. If a Microsoft Access database is specified as a data source via DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) in a Microsoft Word mail-merge document, macro code can run without the userls approval when the user opens that document. If a user can be enticed into opening a specially-constructed mail-merge Word document, which was provided either as an e-mail attachment or as a link hosted on a hostile Web site, it would be possible to cause arbitrary code to run on the userls machine. For such an attack to succeed, the victim would also need to possess the ability to reach the Access database via a UNC (Universal Naming Convention) share or file protocol. If the user is behind a firewall and the best security practices have been followed, the ports required to access the database would be blocked.

If you have problem downloading Microsoft Word 2000 Mail Merge Vulnerability Patch, stop using your download manager and download directly from browser. Check also your firewall, proxy settings, because some download mirrors may require that you do not block the HTTP referers.
