Word 97 - Merging Data Files with lots of fields

[rturner003]

I am creating comma delimted data files from an SQL database and merging that data into a prepared word template.

The problem I have come up with is that there is a limit of 31 fields in Word (or a least Word 97).

Does anyone know of a way around this?

Can you merge with more than 1 data file?

Do I need to delve in macro/basic (I do not mind)?

Thanks

What do you mean, 31 fields? What makes you think that is the limit?

What is the basic format of the main merge document?

Microsoft Word comes up with an error message as soon as you have more than 31 fields in the data file.

Sorry All,

I found my silly!!!! mistake, a comma was missing and that upset the apple cart.

Don't you love when it's a mistake and not something you have to search and search for? I do!
