Merge drops random records

[Phil Smith]

I am trying to help out my wife with this one. She is running Word
2007, merging from an SQL source, over Citrix, if it makes a difference.

I watched her do this a couple of times, and she seems to be doing
everything correct.

This particular dataset returns 15 records. Basic name and address
stuff. Look at the records, all looks good, no weird data, no problem,
No errors.

However, When you choose to complete the merge and preview or edit the
results, you only get about 8 letters. It drops out records out with no
discernable pattern.

This is with a pre-existing letter, and when she starts over from scratch.

Any Ideas?

Are there any <<Next Record>> fields anywhere in the mail merge main
document?

It is a one page document, with various fields and text in it. I
believe there is a <<next record>> at the end after the "Sincerely, Jane
Doe" part.

Is this wrong? Where would you put that particular field?

Thanx

For a Letter type mail merge, no <<Next Record>> field is necessary UNLESS
you want to skip records.
