SYMPTOMS
========
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.
