>In my VFP 5.0a application I have a feature that exports the data to a FoxPro 2.x format so that the user can merge the data with MS Word. I have used the FOX2X file type since Word (especially earlier versions) does not recognize A VFP file. Some users can do the merge just fine but we are getting more and more users who do not have the dBase/FoxPro data access drivers on their system.

Export your data into a comma-delim text file. At this point you'd better build the text file on your own (SCAN.. ENDSCAN).
Do not forget to put a header lines with title names. These headers will be recognised by Word. Your data source will be a text one.
No pb except for speed. The mailmerge will get lousy if you create big mail merge info because of the ODBC text driver... i read that on an other thread).
Good luck
