Hi,

I'm trying to merge a text file into a Word document and am getting the
error message "Word couldn't open because it didn't contain a valid database.

The text file is comma delimited.  Any ideas what could be causing this?

Before trying anything else, check Word Tools|Options|General|Confirm
conversions at open, try reconnecting to the data source and choose the
"Text file" option when offered (not the OLE DB or ODBC options).
