Something like:

with oWord.ActiveDocument.MailMerge
.OpenDataSource(;
"C:\iftp_log_viewonly.txt",,,,,,,,,,,;
"DSN=Text Files;DBQ=C:\;DefaultDir=C:\;DriverId=27;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;"+;
'SQLStatement:="SELECT * FROM iftp_log_viewonly.txt"')

.....
There are plenty of parameters that you may omit (as above) because they have default values. Also to see exactly connection string, you could record a macro in Word and then use the code with manor modification in VFP.
