Merge Feild duplicating for 50+ pages
Has anyone come across a problem with Merge feilds in Word 2003,
whereby the first merge feild duplicates itself over 50+ pages before allowing the second and all other consecutive fields to merge successfully? Is there a quick answer to this? Unfortunately I don't have much info for you other than: Windows XP SP2, Office 2003 (up to date from office updates) The only Security software on this PC is Norton AV 2003, already tried turning off script blocking - didn't help. The data for the merge is coming from an application's database through MSDE 2000 SP3. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx. |

I haven't encountered this particular problem, no. Sounds nasty. It's
difficult to know what to look for in this case, but... Can you please verify that you mean that the first /field/ replicates, not the first /record/? What type of field is causing the problem? (VARCHAR, NVARCHAR etc.) and does the field contain a large amount of text or other data? You are probably connecting to MSDE using OLEDB (at some point Word will have got you to save a .odc file that records the connection details). If so, can you please try connecting using ODBC? This is not completely trivial, but when you get to the Select Data Source dialog, try using the Tools menu at the top right to select MS Query and try to follow the MS Query dialogs. You will need to create a new data source at some point unless you already have a suitable ODBC DSN. Peter Jamieson "BaileyS" wrote in message m...
