Default Reading mm datasource

With Word 2002, I have no problem using a dbf (level 7) as a dataource for
mailmerge. With Word 2003, a client is getting the message "Unable to open
datasource" when they try to set up a datasource for mailmerge using a dbf
(but with no reason given).

I have received info from other programmers that confirm their version of
Word 2003 seems to have no problem with a dbf. Is it possible that the
client's install of Word does not include an odbc driver for dbf files?
Wouldn't I get a different message in that case? Anyone know where I go in
Word 2003 to see if they have an odbc driver set up?

Many thanks for any and all ideas on this,
Mark
