Doug - you're the BEST!! For some reason my data was not importing
past the 30 columns - BUT when I changed the Option for the file
conversion it worked!! I was able to pull in my other data!

Thank you for the help!!
Christine

I am not really sure what you mean by the fields being dropped after the
30th column. *You can always insert the fields directly from the keyboard by
holding down the Ctrl key and then pressing F9 to insert a pair of field
delimiters { } inside of which you type

{ MERGEFIELD "field name" }

Pressing Alt+F9 to toggle off the display of the field codes will result in
field name being displayed.
