mail merge problem - "Word found locked fields during the update..
When I use mail merge to create e-mail from a data source I get the
following message: MAIL MERGE Word found locked fields during the update. Word cannot update locked fields. I then click on "OK" and the message appears again (repeats for the number of e-mails I am sending). The e-mail does all go into my OUTLOOK Outbox and then does get sent but I am looking at a way to avoid having to click "OK" repeatedly. I am using a table in a seperate WORD file as my data source. My WORD and OUTLOOK versions are both 2003. Windows XP (Home Version) has had all updates applied. Any insight/ideas/suggestions.... |

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292155 "WD2002: Error Message:
Word Found Locked Fields During Update". The article addresses Word 2002, but may also apply to Word 2003. zgaryt wrote: When I use mail merge to create e-mail from a data source I get the following message: MAIL MERGE Word found locked fields during the update.
