Merging Access into Word - characters changed
Word version: 2000
Access Version: 2000 We produce a monthly report in Word, using data from an Access dbase, usually with no problems. Since last month we have changed Pounds to Euros in the dbase, but Word continues to insert £ instead of ‚¬. We can find no trace of £ anywhere in the dbase or in the Word macros we use for formatting Any idea what's happening and how to stop it? -- Linda M |

If we can assume that it is only the sign that is wrong, use a switch on the
merge field - http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm My guess is that you already have a £ sign in an existing switch. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org LindaM wrote: Word version: 2000 Access Version: 2000 We produce a monthly report in Word, using data from an Access dbase, usually with no problems.
