I have stuck the document I am talking about here:

http://www.rcslt.org/tw/annualupdate2004.doc

When you try and merge the above Word 2000 document with *any* Access
2000 database, for example importing a name into the "To:" box from
another database...............

when you click Merge, and it opens the Formletters document, you end
up with a blank pop-up which you have to click OK on before merging
takes place. If there happen to be 20 "hits" you have to click OK 20
times. We are dealing with a database with over 300 people, so this is
not going to be much fun.

Any ideas: why this is happening? it will happen to you too. There
must be something in THIS DOCUMENT that it doesn't like.

Thanks in advance!

It seems to have a { FILLIN } field in it. When Word Merges, it will execute
the FILLIN field for each record in the data source. If you use Alt-F9 to
display the fields, you should see the { FILLIN } and should be able to
delete it. If you wanted a FILLIN< but wanted it to work a different way,
letus know what you wanted to do.
