I am sending a text file out from access which I want to merge with. For
some reason, two of the fields, which should be text fields, are sent out as
a string of hexadecimal numbers. At this stage, I can't seem to stop this
happening - it is related to how they are produced. Is there a way of
formatting the fields in a mailmerge document (Word2000) that can reformat a
hex string back to text? Just a desparate question.

I believe that you will have to overcome the problem at the Access end.

Thats what I though. Just decided to ask. I've never seen this before. I
will find away to work around it.
