When using the Access database for recipients the initial columns are OK but
in other columns information jumps from a following column. This is random and does not apply to every record. |

You better explain in detail what you have done, because if you do it
correctly, it doesn't happen that way. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Mail merge using Access
In 2 adjacent columns the headings are Country and Sector and the entries are
OK in the Access database. However, when mail merge some of the entries for Sector appear in the Country column when in step 3 of 6 "Select recipients" "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: You better explain in detail what you have done, because if you do it correctly, it doesn't happen that way. -- Hope this helps.

Mail merge using Access
What happens when you execute the merge?
I would be looking for some problem with the data in the data source rather than with the mail merge. -- Hope this helps.

Mail merge using Access
I have got some entries which are for example ,23, Maybe these are the
problem. The information in the Access Database is also uplifted to a website hence the unusual entries. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: What happens when you execute the merge?

a hyperlink and that cell is blank it causes other columns to shift. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: What happens when you execute the merge?
