I am using a text file as my database. The file is downloaded from a unix
box. When the file is ftp'd, the file comes over fine and the mail merge
continues without incident. When a different client is used (which is what
the users will be using), a carriage return and eof marker are in the file.
When I try the mail merge with this file and choose 'edit individual
documents', mail merge hangs and won't continue until i go back to the
original document. After clicking on the taskbar several times, I recieve
the message "Record 34 is blank". I have tried to embed in the next record
if <mergefield> is empty then skip, but it doesn't make a difference. Short
of making the user open the data file and remove these characters, is there
anything that can be done in merge to ignore this blank record?
Best regards,
Kristi
