Cindy:

Thanks for the response. I've tried doing True/False and Yes/No in the
recipient filters before, but it seems that, when doing that, Word just
rejects the filter and doesn't filter the recipients at all. However, based
on your response, I used 0/1 to filter the recipients and that worked
swimmingly. Many thanks again.

Hi ?B?bWF4LnJhc2JvbGQtZ2FiYmFyZA==?=,

Wish I had an answer, as I've had the exact same problems using an ACT! 2005
datasource in a Word mail merge. I've found that it's the filters don't work
on True/False fields, though I think I managed to have it sort correctly
once.

Never used Act. But I know Word interprets "true/false" differently than it used
to. If you place such a field in a merge document, then preview the data, what
values does such a field show for true and false in the document? Chances are,
you have to set the filter to exactly that.

used to be, false was equivalent to 0. But they changed that, probably thinking
that "true/false" or "yes/no" is more intuitive sigh
