I get this error periodically, but am usually able to adjust the print area
in the Excel file to fix it (not sure why that works, but it usually does).

This time, however, it isn't working at all.  Please tell me what I am doing
wrong.

I have an Excel file as the data source, and am using Word 2003.

I open the Mail merge task pane, select letters, and browse for a new data
source.  In 'browse', I select open new data source, hit 'ODBC DSN' as the
type of data source, then scroll through the prompt until I reach the
file/worksheet I want.  

At the end of the process, I get the following errors:

Record 1 contained too few data fields
Record 2 contained too few data fields
(these two erros repeat a few times)

Please help!

Thanks

I still need some advice on this if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong.  Thanks.
