Hi,
In addition - There is an article at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q237/2/84.ASP
from there I downloaded wdvfpdsn.exe and ran it - this fixed my word problem.
No modifications needed to my VFP code.


>>I wish I could, but I never had this problem. YOu might try the MSKB for Word, this is how I resolved my problem...

>>>Erik, I found this old message and was hoping you might be able to help me. I have a mail merge that use to work. Now when I open the form1.doc Word is telling me that is can not find the source, which is a table1.dbf. table1.dbf is there. Then I tried a test to create a new mailmerge. The drop down list for the data source did not have any vfp *.dbf entries. I have vfp drivers in my odbc icon on control panel, but it seems that Word does not recognize them. Any ideas?

>>>MDAC 2.1 dropped ODBC support for FP 2x tables. Make sure your merge files are VFP 5/6 format, and try selecting a different driver in the Word Merge dialog.
