CSV and mail merge

[Codewiz]

I am doing a little consulting work for a company. I have written my program and it works great. I output a CSV so they can mail merge the file.

The problem is that the file has A LOT of data. It is for a phone switch so there is a lot of data. The records are REALLY wide. Like over 300 records wide.

MS Word can't handle it. It is limited to 65 records.

This really isn't my problem but I am trying to help.

Anyone have an idea of a product that can handle very wide amounts of records.

I could always rewrite my output to put data on multiple lines but it seems their people can't figure out how to handle that.

Any ideas? I have never messed with mail merge

Have you tried opening the file in MS Excel??? It should be able to handle that amount of data...

If not Excel also try Access.

The same reason word won't handle it is the same reason excel won't.

Access tops out at like 256 data fields wide.

So neither will work :-(
