Word 2003 was unable to open the data source file has no extension
Hello,
Our custom access database creates a merge file called "doc merge data" on users' pcs. This file has no extension. With Word 2000 or below the merge opens with a full merge toolbar. With Word 2003 it greys the toolbar out, and using the merge wizard the file returns "Word was unable to open the data source." I have ticked the confirm conversion at open option as suggested. If I rename the file so it has a .txt extension all works. I've read previous forum posts and all involve an extension on the file. Other than re-writing the access database, there must be another difference between Word versions if the file is okay in previous... Any ideas? Many thanks |
