Default Record 1 contains too few data fields

If you have a field in the Access query with the name Client Name as two
words, Word is seeing that as two fields when in fact the data for is
containined in just one field.

Yes - by a query in Access

This is really strange - but it I added a field to my Query that was
spaced - eg. If I used Client Name, instead of ClientName - Word would
give me the "Record 1 contains too few data field" message and not let me
use mail merge - I would still like to fix this problems - I have several
table and a few querys that I would completely have to redo to make this
work correnctly (without the spaces)

does any of this make any sense?

Thanks

I've got Office 2003 Pro - trying to merge a query into word - I've had
not problems with it before (with other querys) but now - I keep getting
this error message - I've loaded all the hotfix files and patches and
attempted to follow one web site that had me change some of the registry
items - but nothing works - does anyone know if there is any way around
this - I can't even set up my mail merge doc with the query fields.

Thanks
