Hi Cetin.

OTOH if you'd still use OpenDatasource you might OpenDatasource which is another office product (doc, xls, mdb). Writing them first is easy and works in all versions I used (w97,2000,2002).

Great minds think alike < s >. That is how I do it too. I export my data to an Excel Spread sheet from my VFP program and use the Excel Spread sheet as the data source for my mail merge. I guess I figure that since Excel is a part of Ms Office, it is probabaly always be on "speaking terms" with other products in the Ms Office Suite.

It seems to have worked pretty well so far....
