ODBC for dummies??? MSWord Merge

[michele]

I need a real fine explanation on how ODBC and especially ODBC and filemaker work (preferably in a 'ODBC for Dummies' style).

Is there any website that provides this kind of information?

What I want to do is a mail merge with Microsoft Word.

Thankyou for helping me to find a solution/explanation

Because I can't make it work and I am getting desperate for a solution.

Any other solution that might make me do a mail merge with Word is equally welcome.

Why not just export records from FM and do the whole Mail Merge in Word. Sort of thing I was doing in 64k memory in WordStar in 1982 :-)
