Default docvariable, template (.dot)

Hello
I have inherited a Word document template (.dot) that contains docvariable
fields in it that are populated from a VB-interface/Access database. I am
told that the application/DB push the data to this template, unlike a mail
merge (I believe).

My question is that I would like to add a new docvariable field and am able
to. However, after creating it, the field is displayed with the error
stating, "Error! Document variable not defined."

I am wondering how this field is associated with a specific field in the
database? The existing fields in the template all have past values in them.

Paul
