why do I get "record has too few data fields"
When doing a mail merge, when I bring up my data source, I get a message for
many, or most, records, saying "Record [record number] has too few data fields," and I have to manually click through each record I get this message for. How can I avoid getting error? My mail merge comes out OK, so I don't know why I'm getting this. |

Without knowing anything about your data file it is difficult to suggest
what the problem might be, but a common reason would be with a comma delimited file that some of the records have insufficient commas? Convert the data file to a Word table - see http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm and you should have fewer problems. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org BlueEyedC wrote: When doing a mail merge, when I bring up my data source, I get a message for many, or most, records, saying "Record [record number] has too few data fields," and I have to manually click through each record I get this message for.
