I am merging data from an Excel chart into a Word document to create a phone
directory for our church. I've done merges many, many times before
successfully. However, I am not able to do so at this time and get the
following message:
"Data base engine failure". Help. What do I do?

I would make the document a completely Excel document, and not push it
off onto word at all.

Our company's directory is that way, and we have a couple thousand
employees across several states.
