I am evaluating A5V5 which I downloaded from the Alpha website and am impressed so far, but I have one problem. Records in A5 are not merging with Word. The operation works in the demo database, but does not work in databases I create.
I am using MS XP, Home Version with Word 2002 on a laptop. A5 and the others are all up to date.
When I view either a Browse or Form of a table and click on the Word icon, instead of getting the blank Word document with the Mail Merge tool bar I get "Header Record Delimiters." Whether I try to work with that option or click Cancel I ultimately get a blank Word document. There are no Tool Bars and there is no visible way of inserting fields from the Records I had queried. Right clicking on the page brings up the normal formatting options, but that is all. When I exit Word I see a "Server Busy" message which says, "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'Switch To' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." When I press �Switch to� the Start menu comes up first and then I see another Error message: Script:ms_word_mailmerge line:297 app.visible subproperty cannot be assigned to" I click OK and the message goes away. At times it locks up A5.
I have tried databases in which I have created all the fields and imported my data from Access. I get the response described above. I have also tried databases I created by using the A5 genie with pre-defined fields and data. With these I clicked on the Word icon and immediately got the Error Message: "Data to merge with Word was not found: 'C\DOCUME~1\GARYDE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\a5mailmerge46.txt'
Any ideas? This is a critical feature for me.
