Default VB.net word 2003 automation "unable to open datasource" Stored Pro

I am trying to work with the word object model via .Net and have managed with
some success in setting a mail merge using SQL Sever successfully, I am now
receiving unable to open data source, although when I use word directly using
the ODC file, and view I have created I have success, secondly whilst
exploring the functionality I have tried use calls to stored procedures in
the SQL and whilst the connection seems to be established the only merge
fields that get populated are the number fields, if anyone can shed some
light on the limitations correct method of doing this it would be much
appreciated, in particular I would prefer not to use an ODC file but it
appears to be the only option and would really like to call a stored proc.
any eamples would be great.

In anticipation thanks for your help



r.Report.SQL= "SELECT * FROM ""FullfillTemp"""

it dosnt make much difference if I add some where clause allthough I would
like to change to "exec storedProc p1,p2 etc". and why do you need so many
quotes?

r.Report.DBodcConnection= a valid ODC file

r.Report.DSNConnection = a valid connection string








Code BlockDim wrdSelection As Word.Selection

Dim wrdMailMerge As Word.MailMerge

Dim wrdMergeFields As Word.MailMergeFields

Try

' Create an instance of Word and make it visible.

wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")

wrdApp.Visible = True

wrdApp.ActivePrinter = printerName

' Add a new document.

wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add(r.Report.WordDocTemplate)

wrdDoc.Select()

wrdMailMerge = wrdDoc.MailMerge()

'' Create MailMerge Data file.

'CreateMailMergeDataFileDocument()

Dim mmd As Word.MailMergeDataSource

mmd = wrdMailMerge.DataSource

wrdMailMerge.OpenDataSource(Name:=r.Report.DBodcCo nnection,
Connection:=r.Report.DSNConnection, SQLStatement:=r.Report.SQL)

With wrdMailMerge.DataSource

..FirstRecord = Word.WdMailMergeDefaultRecord.wdDefaultFirstRecord

..LastRecord = Word.WdMailMergeDefaultRecord.wdDefaultLastRecord

End With



' Perform mail merge.

If Preview = False Then

wrdMailMerge.Destination = Word.WdMailMergeDestination.wdSendToPrinter

Else

wrdMailMerge.Destination = Word.WdMailMergeDestination.wdSendToNewDocument

wrdApp.Visible = True

End If

wrdMailMerge.SuppressBlankLines = True

wrdMailMerge.Execute(True)

' Close the original form document.

wrdDoc.Saved = True

'' Clean up temp file.

'System.IO.File.Delete(cMergeDataDoc)

Catch ex As Exception

Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default

MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)

Finally

Try

'Close the main document

wrdDoc.Close(False)

Catch ex As Exception

'dosnt matter if this falls through

End Try

' Release References.

wrdSelection = Nothing

wrdMailMerge = Nothing

wrdMergeFields = Nothing

wrdDoc = Nothing

wrdApp = Nothing

Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default

End Try
