[oli merge]

Hi,

I have got fed up with the ridiculous and endless connection problems when
mail merging from Excel to Word 2003 so have started replacing all my mail
merges sources with Access tables.

This seemed to be working fine until the last two sets of documents I have
been setting up have started losing my query settings each time i input them
to the recipients list.

Its driving me mad - about 15 other documents worked fine when I input my
criteria using the little arrows next to field names on the recipients list.
However, now this happens:

The recipient list intially is reduced to the correct amount based on the
criteria i entered. I then close it and click on goto last record on the
record selector. Now I get far too many records for the criteria i input. I
do back to the recipients list - advanced to check the criteria and each and
every time it had added an OR statement which makes my initial criteria
pointless.

i.e. my criteria a
1) letter number = "1"
AND 2) Country isblank
AND 3) Title = "Magazine1"

and i come back and it has
1) letter number = "1"
AND 2) Country isblank
OR 3) Country isblank
AND 3) Title = "Magazine1"
..

WHY o why is it doing this to me?
