As I said:

Quote:

Where you have numerous empty cells or mixed numbers and text in the first 16 rows in a column, you are liable to have 0s instead of the text in the mailmerge output.

If you want to know the gory details, see 'How the OLE DB determines the data type for a column' at: http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk/t0003.htm
