Many programs - including Microsoft programs! - can read dBASE files, but not VFP files.

Try:
use MyTable
copy to MergeTable.dbf type FoxPlus
FoxPlus is compatible with dBASE III.

>Ok, this is kind of a Word question, but I'm trying to get mail merge working in a VFP app and when I set up the mail merge document in Word and point it to my VFP table, it says it can't open the table. The table is not open in VFP or anything simple like that and the VFP OLEDB provider is installed on my machine. It may be something simple, but it's eluding me at the moment. Any mail merge experts out there that can make a suggestion. Word's help has not been real helpful so far.
