PRB: Mail Merge Wizard Causes Errors in Windows NT (134413)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q134413 SYMPTOMS
When the Mail Merge Wizard is used to produce form letters, labels,
envelopes, or catalogs in Word version 2.0c for Windows, the following
error is displayed:
Could not find FoxPro files ODBC Drivers
However, FoxPro drivers are listed in the ODBC manager. Moreover, the Mail
Merge Wizard works fine when Visual FoxPro is run under Windows for
Workgroups.
CAUSE
The Mail Merge Wizard uses ODBC to generate a mail merge. The 16-bit
version of Word for Windows is running and incorrect FoxPro ODBC drivers
are used to connect to Word for Windows from Visual FoxPro. The 16-bit
version of Word for Windows requires 16-bit ODBC drivers. When the
Professional version of Visual FoxPro is installed under Windows NT, and
ODBC is installed, the 32-bit drivers are installed.
RESOLUTION
To run the Mail Merge Wizard successfully with the 16-bit version of Word
for Windows, install the 16-bit FoxPro ODBC driver. You can run the Word
for Windows Setup program to install the 16-bit ODBC drivers.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
