Publisher Mail Merge

[Shannon]

I use an Excel text, tab delimited file to complete a mail merge in
Publisher. I recently got a laptop & the merge will not work on the new
computer. The columns on the date source are no longer separated & it only
gives one option for a field instead of the multiple fields I normally have.
The merge still works perfectly on my old computer, just not the new one.
Anybody know what may be causing this and how to correct it?

Thank you!

This probably is an Excel problem. Could be your MDAC components are not up to
date. Are you getting an error message? Is the OS different on the laptop? Is it
the same Publisher version?

Thank you so much for your response! I am not getting an error message, and
it is the same version of Publisher, I used the same software from my
desktop. But my desktop is Windows XP & the laptop is Vista.

Thank you for your help!
