Mail Merge with SQL 2000
Did you update the field after adding the switch?
{Mergefield Fieldname \# ",0.00" } Is '.' your regional decimal separator? What *exactly* does {Mergefield Fieldname} produce? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Paresh Gupta wrote: I am doing a Mail merge document with SQL 2000 as my data source.

Mail Merge with SQL 2000
Yes, I update the field after adding the switch. The '.' is my Regional
Decimal seperator. If I look at the record in SQL the data is like 1232.0034 and this is exactly what shows up in Word.

Mail Merge with SQL 2000
In that case you haven't entered it correctly.
There are two sets of field brackets each inserted with CTRL+F9 to produce { = { MERGEFIELD [fieldname] } * 1 \# "$,0.00" } [fieldname] is replaced by the actual fieldname of the errant field from your data source. The rest is typed exactly as it appears above. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Paresh Gupta wrote: I keep getting Invalid Character string.......

What I have done is sent you a mail with a ZIP file called MERGE.ZIP. This
contains 3 files as follows MERGE.SQL : The sql script to create a sample table and insert data into it in SQL 2000 MERGE_MAIN.DOC: The main mail merge document which just puts the 2 fields from the table created above MERGED.DOC: The final Merged document. I am sending you a mail from the link on your website.
