In Word, I created a mergefield EXACTLY as Ray's, including spacing. In
Excel, I created a worksheet with 2 columns.
Column 1 Name contains 4 records: Blue, Red, Rose, Daisy
Column 2 Address contains 4 records: berry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
irish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, 123-456-7890, (321)-654-0987
The desired result is 2 records: Rose --- 123-456-7890, Daisy ---
(321)-654-0987
The actual result is 2 records: Red --- irish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Daisy ---
(321)-654-0987
Is this bizarre or is it just me? For some reason it's skipping every
other record and ignoring the not like request. Maybe like and not like
can't work in a merge field?

Hi Glenda....are you saying Ray's merge field syntax didn't work for
you? I tried it here and it worked for me, so I'm really beginning to
think there is definitely something strange in that data source file
that you are not seeing or that is preventing you from reading the
source data AFTER the merge is complete. Did you try this on a sample
file you created that does NOT use that unavailable data source? Why
don't you do that...that way you can see if this works for you AT
ALL...if it does, then you know the problem is with your source
data...and if that's the case, then VBA probably won't work either.
