I have been able to link to my data and merge successfully from the WP side, but can't get the merge to work from VFP. I've tried several flavors of the merge with the same result, i.e. no go. I always get an OLE bug at the Wpmergerun line.

As a follow-up and more refined experiment, I tried creating a macro in WP as I performed the merge to VFP data. I discovered while the merge itself in WP worked, the macro didn't, again failing at the line where it has to execute the mergerun. This leads me to believe that VFP is really having problem with WP at the same point because it's essentially executing the same command. Has anyone else seen these results?

P.S. In dealing with this problem, I feel a little like Henry V in his battle against the French at Agincourt where he says "We few, we happy few, we band of (WP) brothers..."
