Re: ODBC problem with Microsoft Word and Excel

Here is what I needed to do
1) Use ANSI odbc driver - this is key - Unicode does not work - I am using
version 9.03.04.00. In this example the name of the odbc DSN is LFData. It
has a username and password embedded in it.
2) It may not be needed for word merge (I am also doing separate queries)
but I registered Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 6.1 Library from the VBA
Tools menu
3) Within the macro that performs the merge I have the following (xcfPax is
a view that provides the fields for the merge):
SQLRequest = "select * from xcfPax where matterno = '" & matterRef & "'"

Doc.MailMerge.MainDocumentType = wdFormLetters
Doc.MailMerge.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument

Doc.MailMerge.OpenDataSource _
Name:="", _
SQLStatement:=SQLRequest, _
AddToRecentFiles:=False, _
Connection:="DSN=LFData", _
SubType:=wdMergeSubTypeWord2000

' Execute the mail merge.
Doc.MailMerge.Execute
Doc.MailMerge.DataSource.Close
