Invalid Merge Field error
Based on a lot of help I was able to create a directory linked to an Excel
table via DDE. Now, I am encountering an 'Invalid Merge Field' error when trying to merge the document. Not all the columns in the Excel are available even though they were when I made the template. Results based on searches in this newsgroup for this issue basically indicate that DDE is "flaky at best" which is what I am experiencing. (I had at one point successfully complete a merge with this very template.) Preferrably, a solution to the Invalid Merge Field error is available (see note). Short of that, is there another approach for merging text or formatted (%) numbers into the same field (one record has text, the next record has % number etc.). Regarding the Invalid Merge Field error: I have data in every column and record of the Excel table populating the merge. (this "fixed" the issue for me early on). -- QWERTY |
