Mailmerge Error - "Word was unable to open the datasource"

[SmpTraining]

I'm setting up a mailmerge document which points to an ODBC data source which is a TXT file (tab delimited).

There's only ever one record in the file and its being pulled into word to create a letter.

I've successfully created one letter out of three. Both of the other two are causing me the same problem. When I try to "Get Data" through the Mailmerge wizard, I select "MS Query", select the ODBC source, choose the fields I want (I can even browse every one!) then move through the select and sort tabs (without picking anything) and get the error:

"Word was unable to open the datasource"

It's driving me mad!! Anyone any ideas? If I send the results to file I can see them so the data is there.

Thanks in advance,
