Hi newschapmj1,

Is there a reason you can't delete the problem fields from the mailmerge templates?

Cheers

The following is a modifiation of the code in the article "Find & ReplaceAll
on a batch of documents in the same folder" at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BatchFR.htm

that should do what you want as long as you get the code of the mergefield
correct.

Dim mf As Field
Dim myFile As String
Dim PathToUse As String
Dim myDoc As Document

PathToUse = "C:\Test\"
'Set the directory and type of file to batch process
myFile = Dir$(PathToUse & "*.doc")
While myFile <> ""
   'Open document
   Set myDoc = Documents.Open(PathToUse & myFile)
   'Iterate through the fields in the document
   For Each mf In myDoc.Fields
       If UCase(mf.Code) = "MERGEFIELD NAMEOFMISSINGFIELD" Then
           mf.Delete
       End If
   Next mf
   'Close the modified document after saving changes
   myDoc.Close SaveChanges:=wdSaveChanges
   'Next file in folder
   myFile = Dir$()
Wend
