Mail Merge Form Fields not Showing

[vise]

Hi All,

I have a mail merge code that takes a query from access and mail merges it to a template document, after which it protects the document with a password. It works very well, with one big problem. It gets rid of any form fields that I have inserted in the original document. So the user can't interact with the form (the weird thing being that it doesn't get rid of the checkboxes, they still work after the mail merge). I've searched all over as to the reason behind this but no answers.

Try inserting empty spaces into the target fields in the template, even though you don't want them populated, or even a "Character" so that you can see if the blank fields are wiped cos they don't exist in the source. Checkboxes may stay becasue there is a default false value.
