[SOLVED] Excel Output makes one extra row with nothing it in when doing a mail-merge

Good Afternoon,

I have an procedure that outputs an excel file for a given student. The only bit of information in the excel is two rows, the header of the excel file (column names) and the data for the student that goes along with it. For example, I have a header called Name, and on the next row, is the name of the student. The procedure only runs for one student as a time. The problem is that the excel file returns a blank line. I know this because I am using it for a mail-merge using Microsoft Word. Microsoft Word has two recipients for the mail-merge, the student the procedure is run for, and then a blank line. Given that this procedure is made up of a few table files it, I stopped the procedure at different table files and had those output as an excel. I used those outputs in a mail-merge just to see if the blank line shows up and it does not. Microsoft Word does not have a blank line as a recipient for those excels. The only time a blank line appears is when the entire procedure is run. Has anyone else had this problem, or an idea as how to fix it? I've included my code in as well below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From,

Anguel Esperanza
