Hello,

I have a document that merges with an Access 2000 database. This creates 1600 documents, each of 7 pages in length.

Recently it stopped being able to search through the merged documents for merged data. ie. If I search on Address_4 (postcodes) for a postcode, it searches through all 1600 documents but fails to find the document.

Can anyone help, as searching through all these documents for specific ones is now quite difficult.

Cheers,
Joe

Hello again,

Found the solution. Some desktops were merging their data from a local copy of the database. They are now using the network copy and it's working correctly. Not sure how this has happened but this has only been a recent problem.

Cheers,
Joe
