Merging a document and I get the following Mail Merge message: A field
calculation error occured in record 1.

I have experienced receiving that error message when using a field
construction such as:

{ IF { REF Check } "{ MERGEFIELD itemnumber } { MERGEFIELD itemprice } "
"{ MERGEFIELD itemnumber } { MERGEFIELD itemprice }¶
" }{ SET Check "{ MERGEFIELD itemnumber } { MERGEFIELD itemprice }" }

But after clicking on the OK button to dismiss the error message, the merge
executes as required.

I believe that particular problem occurs when the { SET } field has been
inserted but not actually executed. At that point there is no "Check"
bookmark, so the REF field causes an error. After the { SET } field has been
executed once, the error disappears.

Hi Shelley,

What is the field coding that generates the error? If it uses any REF
fields, what's the coding for the source fields too?

Cheers
