mail merge filter criteria
I supppose that I am not knowledgeable enough to recognize if this has been
addressed before, so I am asking because this is creating serious problems for me. AT some point in the last several months an update to my Office 2003 has been installed that has resulted in an inability to correctly make changes in existing merge criteris. Specifically, putting in a change results in nearly every filtering criteria becoming a two-part OR, with the addition of an unwanted IF about the file dbeing empty/nulll OR my desired inclusion criteria. We have lots of empty fields all over lots of Excel databases that get used in over 100 pre-reports, and all of the records with any of the fields empty get selected because of this unwanted-but-cannot-be-removed OR that has begun being added. I am not a knowledgeable user. I pretty much only know how to maintain and make minor changes to he existing reports. And I cannot even do that because some update has changed the way things work such that what I ask for gets changed to be what I definitely don't want. How has it come about that Mail Merge is deciding -- incorrectly -- for me that what I really want is to search for empty cells as well as the cells containing the values we want? And what can I do to stop it? If this has been answered already somwhere, please accept my apology for my ignorance that hasn't recognized it, and explain it more simply so that I'll get it this time. Thanx, folks...BillG |
