Default Database field listed for wrong columns...

Once I connect my word document to an XLS the column headings are all mixed
up. For instance, if I merge "address" if puts in the data from the name
column.

If I go to "select recipient" the "name" column displays the data from the
"zip" column. How do I unscramble this? I use this data for several
documents, and they are all showing this problem.

Office 2003, by the way.

For some reason, an "SQL Code" was running. I closed ALL the documents.
When opening the culprit, it gave a warning "this document is going to run
the following commands" (gave a long list). I clicked "no."

Problem solved.
