Hello,

I posted this in another forum before I saw this one, so please excuse
the re-post.

I have an application using OLE built in PowerBuilder that does a mail
merge
using Word 2003.  I am using bookmarks to insert things like first
name, last name, address, etc.  This works fine if I only want to merge

each bookmark once.  After reading many of these posts I discovered
that what I want to do is then cross reference that bookmark any number

of times.

However, I am unable to get the bookmarks to print anytime other than
the first.  I have a bookmark named fname.  My original bookmark prints

fine as "Charlie".  However, when I cross reference to fname and run
the merge, my second instance displays "fname".  I have tried the ctrl
+ A and F9 trick and right clicked on the new reference and clicked
update, and still no luck.

Is the problem that Word cannot cross reference to a value that is
programmatically set?  I have clicked tools | options | print | update
fields, but no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brian
