I have put in a post about this but no one has responded. When using
Word2003 mail merge and using data formatted in Access2003 as currency, there
is a serious issue where numbers are changed when the merged field is
formatted as currency in Word. In a real employee database of about 250
employees the error shows up in about 10% of the data. I can create a brand
new database with only 8 records, 6 having the same troublesome numbers and 2
other numbers. It does come across as 6 errors and 2 correct. If I use the
older DDE method and let formatting come across, all entries are correct.
Examples of salary causing problems: 2258.80 becomes $2266.00. 1535,90
becomes 1544.00.and 1777.60 becomes $1783.00 All have .00 as last numbers in
Word. Correct ones are 1335.04, 1811.75. This can be a serious complication
when sending out employment offers with incorrect salary numbers. USE DDE!!
I can send an example database if anyone is interested.
