data merge crash

[MattNeeley]

We're trying to use data merge to make calendars using the pagemaker plugin to import all the data. This requires importing ~400-450 fields and the data to match. Every time we open the file it crashes indesign though. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it possibly an error related to the amount of fields we're trying to merge? If so, does anyone know the maximum number of fields you can use?

Hi, Matt,

AFAIK, the limit is set by the resources of your PC. If the pages are complex with many text boxes and large images, then your PC may get bogged down.
