Mail Merge Error locked fields
I am trying to do a mail merge on a custom label and I am running into a
message that says "Word cannot update locked fields". I have put together a custom label and for my data source I am using an Excel spreadsheet generated from doing a query in Access. The query does have a calculation in it, in that it is giving me a sum of a particular field. When I go to Edit individual labels, I get the error message and then a get a full sheet of labels for each record rather than one label for each record. Help! Any ideas what I am doing to cause this? |

Hi ?B?TGlzYQ==?=,
Please specify the version of Word. I don't think the error message you quote would cause all labels to show the same record, however. Go back to the main merge document (label sheet). Press Alt+F9 to view the field codes. Do you see a { NEXT } field at the beginning of the second and following labels? If not, you need to insert one, otherwise Word will not move to the next record within the label sheet.
