field calculation error message
Although otherwise successfully merging Access data, I get a "field
calculation" error message. All merge fields on word document are merged, nothing is missing. Please help. I am tired of deleting the page that reports the error messages. Eloy |

field calculation error message
Do you have fields that do calculations (i.e. probably { = } fields?
If so, can you eliminate them one by one to detect which field is causing the problem? Peter Jamieson "Eloy" wrote in message ...

thanks for your response. I do not have any "calculations" in my merge
fields nor do I have any in my database. Any other suggestions? "Peter Jamieson" wrote: Do you have fields that do calculations (i.e. probably { = } fields?

Any other suggestions?
Nothing obvious to me! Let's suppose you start a completely new merge from scratch using your Access source. Let's suppose you insert one mergefiedl from the data source. Do you get the same problem? (or alternatively, what do you have to cut out from your merge to avoid the problem?) Peter Jamieson "Eloy" wrote in message ... thanks for your response.

Thanks for your ideas. I deleted one field at a time but that made no
difference. The error message was eliminated when I deleted a group of fields. I then added each field, one at a time, an it took care of the problem.

I have the same annoying problem. I had it in Word 2000 and I have it still
since I've upgraded to 2003. Are you using Excel for your data source? Does anyone know if this is makes a difference. "Eloy" wrote: Thanks for your ideas.

FWIW I can only imagine that the field that was causing the problem was
hidden - it may be worth checking Word Tools|Options|View|All to see if you can spot the culprit. Peter Jamieson "the lisa b." the lisa wrote in message ... I have the same annoying problem.
