Merge files keep selecting their own fields. How to fix?
I have a lot of merge files connected to one database. The ones that are
treated as letters are fine. HOwever, my reports, which I have in as "Directory", are all screwing up. I select the fields in the merge window that I want (under "advanced), the data looks fine. I perform the merge to a new document, but all of the data from the Excel spreadsheet comes with the information I want. Please help me someone! |

It is difficult to understand what you are describing here. Essentially a
directory merge will reproduce everything in your merge document not in the header/footer for each record - each immediately following the previous record. You may find http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm useful for all merge types. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jennifer C.

One example: I'll choose "Choose COntractor" as empty and "Verified" as "Y"
when choosing which fields I need in my list. It picks the correct ones, I click "okay" I click "Merge to new document" and ALL the records show up. Now, can I change this directory to some other format where the lists of folks will show up in table format on one page? Thanks for your help!
