    [RESOLVED] Word unable to open datasource

    I'm writing a program that takes some simple input from the user via a combo box and a treeview and opens a word document and mail merges the appropriate data from a Microsoft SQL server.

    I'm pretty sure I have everything hammered out, except when I run the program I end up with the error that Word was unable to open the data source.

    Unfortunatly I have not found a wealth of solid information out on the Internet with regards to office interop. I've had to piece a lot together to get it this far. If anyone has any suggestions as to why it's unable to open the data source with the following code it would be most appreciated.

    On a side note, I'd love to know of a good book or reference that shows more of the office interop with VB and .net.

    Thanks!

    Error:

    An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in VBPorcupineFrontEnd.exe

    Additional information: Word was unable to open the data source.

    Code:

    Code:
            Dim docPath As String = "C:\porcupine\docs\"
            Dim wrdApp As New Word.Application
            Dim wrdDoc As New Word.Document
            Dim TemplateFile As String = docPath + TreeView1.SelectedNode.Text & ".doc"
    
            Dim oMissing As New Object
            Dim oFile As New Object
            Dim oSql As New Object
            Dim oFalse = False
            Dim oTrue = True
            Dim ODCFile As New Object
    
            ODCFile = "C:\Porcupine\memberdata3.odc"
    
            oFile = TemplateFile
            oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value
    
            wrdApp.Visible = True
    
            wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Open(oFile, oMissing, oTrue, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing)
    
            wrdDoc.Select()
    
            Dim wrdMailMerge = wrdDoc.MailMerge
    
            oSql = "SELECT * FROM MemberData WHERE MBRNAME =" & ComboBox1.Text
    
            wrdDoc.MailMerge.OpenDataSource(ODCFile, oMissing, oMissing, oFalse, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oSql, oMissing, oFalse, oMissing)
    
            wrdMailMerge.SuppressBlankLines = True
    
            wrdMailMerge.Execute(oFalse)
    
            If wrdDoc Is Nothing Then
                wrdDoc.Saved = True
                wrdDoc.Close(oFalse, oMissing, oMissing)
            End If
    
            'If wrdApp Then
            wrdApp.Quit(oFalse, oMissing, oMissing)
    
            'End If
    
    
            wrdMailMerge = Nothing
            wrdDoc = Nothing
            wrdApp = Nothing
