If you haven't installed Microsoft Data Access Components 2.1.2.4202.3 (GA)
[released July 2nd], then you may want to go to http://www.microsoft.com/data/ and download the "Hotfix: Can't Export or Open Linked FoxPro Tables Using Latest ODBC Driver with MDAC 2.1 GA". See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q231/7/14.asp for more
information.

>Unders the Drivers tab, of ODBC icon on the control panel I have 3 FoxPro drivers: FoxPro Drivers (*.dbf) version 4.003711.08, FoxPro VFP Drivers (*.dbf) version 6.008428.00, and Visual FoxPro Drivers version 6.008428.00. Word does not recognize Foxpro tables (*.dbf) as a valid data source for mail merge. My mailmerge use to work fine but something has happened (I know that I installed Visual SP3). How do I remove VFP drivers and reinstall? Or more specifically, any ideas on how I can get word to recognize *.dbf. I tried removing and adding components of Word, but it will not let my remove the ODBC drivers.
