MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / November 2004Word Merges via ODBC
When I try to connect to an ODBC data source to do a Word merge I get an error. It is often "Record 1 contains too few data fields" popping up several times, although the error varries depending on how I try to connect. This is using Office XP, Office 2000 works fine. It happens with most ODBC sources but cvs works fine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Hi =?Utf-8?B?ZnJ1c3RyYXRlZCBRQQ==?=, What is the ODBC data source? And what ODBC driver are you selecting? > When I try to connect to an ODBC data source to do a Word merge I get an > error.

The ODBC drivers I'm using are from the Oracle 9 Client, Visigenic 5.1 (comes with Interbase), and the SQL driver I assume comes with Windows. (I have XP SP2) > Hi =?Utf-8?B?ZnJ1c3RyYXRlZCBRQQ==?=, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or > reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) Hi I have a similar problem. If I select a data source from My Data Sources, specifically created for the exact SQL table in questions, Word gives me a a datalink properties box. Entering my specific User name and Password, vs NT Intregrated, the Test Connection succeeds , then when I click "OK" I get an error saying Word can not open data source. If I cancle before the OK, I get the Too Few Peramater message noted above. Any help would be fantastic!! Thanks, Sheri > Hi Cindy, > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or > > reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
