Are you reopening the merge document where you see all the fields? That's
the one that maintains the link to the query...not the one with the actual
data in it.
When you finish the merge, you should have two documents...the one that
shows the field names in brackets...like <address> and the one that actually
shows the results of the merge...it's the one with the field names in it
that maintains the link to the query....You just open that and run the merge
again...just the last step where you click "merge" and the document will be
populated with the latest data in the query.

Yup....that's the way I thought it was supposed to work, but I
apparently lose the link to the query when I close the file. When I
re-open the file the calculated fields from the query are zeroed and I
have to relink the query. I've tried this on a number of the files and I
get the same results.
