Hi Marcia,

>Error is: Ole Idispatch exception code 0 from Microsoft Word

>Word was unable to open the data source.

Seems to be coming from code :- ..... Mailmerge.OpendataSource(mySource)

This one started with Word XP - it has to do with the change to ODSO to access data using OLEDB instead of DDE. There is an extra parameter you can send to th OpenDataSource() method to tell it to "SET BackwardCompatible ON" and use DDE to acces the data.

The info is in the KB -

PSS ID Number: 289830

Article Last Modified on 9/17/2001

How to search this? Please help! I tried to put PSS ID but cannot search or maybe I just dont know how to search. Is this searchable in UT or MSDN?

Thanks.
