Problem with Filter in Mail Merge

T

tomcon

I have a problem trying to use multiple criteria to filter on with Mai
Merge.

This seems purely like a bug or random behavior, and not a usage issue
but please tell me if this is known or what i would need to do.

I filtered on a field, SendNow=1. Fine, i got 566 reciepients.
I then added AND Field=Bounced, criteria = IsBlank.

But, instead of getting fewer recipients, in fact, at that point, al
rows were selected.

So, i looked at the dialog again, and it had simply added an extr
criteria, and extra "OR" criteria that ended up selecting all th
records. And, this is reproducible, happens every time i try to say O
to the dialog, i can't seem to prevent it.

When i click OK, what is added is an additional critera, with "OR", an
Field-Bounced=IsBlank is added again.

So, when i thought i had
SendNow=1
AND Bounced IsBlank (and then hit OK in the dialog)

what the dialog had (when i opened it again) is
SendNow=1
AND Bounced IsBlank
OR Bounced IsBlank

That is, it simply added an extra criteria as "OR Bounced IsBlank". O
course the last set will select all records.

each time i simply open the filter dialog and click OK, an extr
criteria is added, "OR Bounced IsBlank". I've gotten it up to like 1
times in the dialog, just by opening and saying "OK". Aside from th
fun, this is is a big problem. I can't make the dialog stop at just tw
criteria:
SendNow=1
AND Bounced IsBlank

Am i crazy? Has this been seen? How do i get ONLY the above 2 criteri
to be used. Every time i say OK to the dialog, i am back to all the row
being selected, ssame effect as no filter at all.

Yikes, help!

Thanks
