Hi Peterkins,

Glad to see you've got it sorted.

BTW, you could also set the '\d' switch to '\d ""', so that the ""
(empty/nul) response becomes the default.

Cheers

Hi macropod

Phew!! Managed to get it working at last!

Having inserted the default "X" after the \ d switch in each of the FILLIN
fields the mail merge job works like a dream - well spotted macropod! For
any other readers of this thread who may have a similar problem, when
closing
the main document after the mail merge DO NOT SAVE THE CHANGES, otherwise
you
will probably find some of the results embedded in that document.

I am very grateful to you macropod for your time and patience in getting
me
sorted out on this problem which was becoming a PITA, but perseverance won
in
the end.

Regards
Peter

Hi Peterkins,

The FILLIN field's '\d' switch doesn't cause it to prompt for *every*
record
being merged - it simply sets a default value which, in the field codes
you've posted, is undefined.
