Getting this error:
Error: 1429 OLE IDispatch exception code 0 from Microsoft Word: Word was unable to open the data source..."
It hits on the OpenDataSource line in this code:
WITH .ActiveDocument.MailMerge
	.OpenDataSource(m_temp_dir+'FeeSlip.dbf')
	.Execute()
ENDWITH
The directory and FeeSlip table are available and in scope at that point of the code, and there is a populated record in the table. Word has already opened a doc and it is mostly populated, other than merge fields at the top of the document. These fields are supposed to be filled by the records in the table.

I don't have much OLE experience, at least not with Word (some Excel) so does anyone have any thoughts in what I should be looking at? Thanks!
