Problem with numeric blank fields
Hi,
I noticed a flaw in Word Mail Merge using MSQuery. If a numeric field is blank (i.e. null value in DB), Word duplicates the previous record value for that field. This doesn't happen with strings or dates. Conditional formatting is not an option because the field already has the wrong (=previous) value. I could go back to the DB and generate a view which places special values instead of nulls so I could have tested for it in Word. This can't be implemented as a generic solution (each field might require a different special value) and is highly undesirable. Does anybody know about a better workaround? Thanks, Iaacov |
