Hard to help you without having both files. &nbsp;If they contain sensitive data, change them so they don't. &nbsp;Just a few records should be enough, but test with those few records first, to make sure you still get the error, and if you do, post them here.

It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
