Word cannot find data source problem

[Peter Jamieson]

Which version of Word in this case? Are you selecting a specific option in a
"Confirm Data Source" dialog box?

Word 2003. I never see the "Confirm Data Source" dialog box. Just the 'Select
Data souce' box.

Experiments here have worked so far.

With the file and data source open, can you use the Visual Basic editor to
display the value of ActiveDocument.Mailmerge.DataSource.ConnectString ?

(Actually, I can only get Word 2003 to open .dat data sources using its
internal text converter: a blank result would confirm that this is what is
happening on your system too).
