This article was previously published under Q126734 SUMMARY
You may receive blank results during a mail merge when the mail merge
document uses a header file and you have attached a database source file
using ODBC.
For each record merged, you may receive the following message, where "x" is
the record number:
One or more data fields in record x were truncated.
CAUSE
ODBC architecture does not require a header file to perform a mail merge.
The elimination of header files ensures backward compatibility with Word
version 2.0 for Windows mail merge files.
RESOLUTION
Do not attach a header file when you perform a mail merge using an ODBC
driver; remove any currently attached header file.
