I am attempting to merge SQL Database data to a Text Form Field in Word
When the data from the SQL field does not contain a carriage return
the merge is completed successfully and the Text Form Field an
Bookmark are in tact. However, when the SQL data contains a carriag
return the data is merged but the Text Form Field along with it'
bookmark are deleted.

Any assistance on this issue would be greatly appreciated

How exactly are you merging into this text Form Field?

Which version of Word?

Word XP

I am merging the text into Word using Prolog Manager merge fields. Th
template is meant to run from a particular data group and use the Prolo
database merge fields to populate the Word form

Hello EBRHSC

If you're using a 3rd party product that has its own merge feature then you
really need to contact the provider of that product for support on its
product.
