Re: Mail merge & Publisher

See if updating your MDAC components and Jet helps

When I try to choose a source for the mail merge and I choose a data base
file that is a Microsoft Excel comma seperated value file or a Microsoft
Excel work***. I always get a window that pops up that says... "This
operation cannot be completed because of dialog or database engine failures.
Please try Again later." Any help would be really appreciated.
