<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for all of the valuable input.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Sounds like several people have come across similar issues
as well as other bugs and quirks with the new version of MS Office.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Several people recommended saving the files as a dbf file
prior to performing the join.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>It is a small added step, but I have tried this and it seems
to fix the problem.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you again,<o:p></o:p></p>
