Hi Stephen,
Do you have the right ODBC driver for VFP6.0 installed and configured??
Just guessing.
A simple solutions is to just provide your data to Word in 2.6 format.
Just open your table in VFP and use the copy command with the FOX2X clause to create a table in 2.6 format COPY TO
FOX2X.
And even simpler just provide a delimited file to WORD, the same format as they use for their MailMerge databases.
If I recall correctly it consists of a kinda header, with the fields definiton followed by the data.
Hope this gives you a clue where to look for?
