Hi,

The Technical Dept has changed our application server... This new server has
Windows Server 2003 (Standard edition) and Office XP, SP3.
I have a word document that needs to merge to a DBF file on this new
machine... When I try to do the merge, the system gives me the message:
"Word was unable to open the datasource."

On our other application server, this was not a problem.
I have read in the Microsoft Library that because of DBF files, I needed to
instal the FoxPro Drivers... so I have run the VFPODBC.msi on this new
server, but the drivers installed themselves in the System DSN tab instead
of  User DSN tab... .

Please help... do I also need to install the WDVFPDSN.exe???
