Default how do I repeat the same merge fields on one page

I worked on it again this morning (I'm new at this) and did a merge to show
errors - just found that feature. There were a couple of field names that
weren't valid - fixed them and presto - it works!

I thank you very, very much.

Thank you for your quick reply! There are no {NEXT} fields between the three
locations - there are 3 separate parts to the form but the second record
displays in the 2nd part of the page and the 3rd record displays in the 3rd
part of the page. I'm stumped!

If you are using MERGEFIELD fields to insert the data, and the current
record has not changed (i.e. there are no { NEXT }, { NEXTIF } or {
SKIPIF } fields between the two locations where you need the same data,
use the same MERGEFIELD field(s) a second time.

It's generally easier to see this stuff if you use Alt-F9 to reveal the
underlying field codes.
