Hi Peter - it was Word and Excel XP. I don't know which connection method it
was using, I just clicked on the data source button on the mail merge
toolbar. I don't have those files (or that machine) any more, I'm afraid,
but I'm still kind of curious to know what happened.
Thanks,
Tara

Wow! That one went through the window fast! :-)

I remember that feeling well! However, there are so many ways in which
things can go wrong that these days I try to confine my curiosity to the
cases where there is some chance of finding out what caused the problem,
which generally requires that someone is in a position to experiment, and
even in those circumstances it's frequently easier to start from scratch and
see if the problem goes away with a new set of files etc.
