Hi Chris,

I have a co-worker having an issue with merging excel data into word and
querying the data for specific information (both 2003 versions). When she
does this, the first record is always the first line of data (even though
the query should be excluding this line). It then skips the record that
should be the first record of the query results, and after that the results
are correct. She also said that she knows another person that had the same
issue.

Never heard of this before, but a bit more information might help

1. What is the query?

2. How is the query being set (exact steps)?

3. Does this happen if the Excel data is linked into a new Word document (as a
test)?

4. If the Excel data copied and pasted into a Word document (assuming it
contains 64 columns or less) and the merge is linked to the Word document as
the data source, does the query work correctly?
