We have historically created mail merges using the ancient MS Query option in Word. MS Query no longer functions properly under the new Windows 10 / Office 2016 we have rolled out (we are not quite sure why).

So we have decided to venture down the path of using the newer method. The newer method calls for using ".ODC" files which allow you to specify SQL Querys in them and connect to any data source you want.

When we use this method against DB2 with Microsoft Word we get "Record 1 contained too few fields" when attempting to use the .ODC file to bring data into a MS Word document.

.ODC file works fine pulling data into excel. Just not MS Word.

Here is the .odc file we attempted to use: https://pastebin.com/14kDxF4z

Anyone get past the "Record 1 contained too few fields" issue?
