That's because "c:\directoryname\ {fn" is not a valid filename.  (Though
I don't know why you don't get a different error code.)

You want:

    import word merge=("c:\directoryname\ " { fn)

(note the space between the backslash and close-quote) or the easier to
read:

    import word merge=("c:/directoryname/" { fn)

No, you are not limited to 8.3 under the Windows version of filePro.
Can you define "it seems I have trouble"?
