MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / September 2006field calculation error message
Although otherwise successfully merging Access data, I get a "field calculation" error message. All merge fields on word document are merged, nothing is missing. Please help. I am tired of deleting the page that reports the error messages. Eloy Do you have fields that do calculations (i.e. probably { = } fields? If so, can you eliminate them one by one to detect which field is causing the problem?

Nothing obvious to me! Let's suppose you start a completely new merge from scratch using your Access source. Let's suppose you insert one mergefiedl from the data source. Do you get the same problem? (or alternatively, what do you have to cut out from your merge to avoid the problem?) Peter Jamieson > thanks for your response.

The error message was eliminated when I deleted a group of fields. I then added each field, one at a time, an it took care of the problem.

I had it in Word 2000 and I have it still since I've upgraded to 2003. Are you using Excel for your data source? Does anyone know if this is makes a difference. > Thanks for your ideas.
