Default Word could not finish merging these documents...

....or inserting this database

Getting this message when trying to merge a selected range of records from
within a large dataset. Can't find this mentioned in MS knowledgebase or on
any message boards -- any ideas? Could it be memory related? What to look for
in troubleshooting? Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks

Although I probably can't test your scenario, which version of Word, what is
the data source, how are you connecting to it, how many records are in the
data source, how many are you selecting and how are you doing the selection?
Are you using any DATABASE fields?

I suspect the first things I would try would be to extract the records as a
separate step, preferably to another table in the same database, and attempt
the merge using that. If that worked OK, I might try to create a view that
did the same selection and use that as the data source.
