Re,

Thanks for answer.

ODBC driver is 10g version. Dsn is so updated and is ok.

Word mailmerge is automated by app (with vba) but for testing, I only use
Word.

After some last tests, I saw that problem come from CLOB fields. With some
other table without CLOB field, anything is ok.

So, it should be new odbc driver parameter (I didnt show anything).

Is there a new ODBC driver for 10g? If so, does the DSN you used to connect
reference the new driver?

Are you going through MS Query to connect to your data source? If so, does
MS Query retireve the rows correctly? If not, are you doing it in VBA or
other code? Can you show us the code?

It is quite common for word to return these strange M_ fields when it cannot
open an ODBC/OLEDB data source correctly.

Hi,

I've juste change Oracle version (from 8i to 10g) and have problem with
old
word doc which were ok with 8i odbc driver.

Error message is "not enough fields for first record". And when I try do
setup mailmerge, table choice is ok (I see all tables from database) but
there's only two strange fields : "M_" and "M__".

Thanks.
