When I try to print merge letter from the wordmerge_MKVII.db sample database I get the following error:

LE name '' not in current form.
(Ref. File: C:\Sesame2\Docs\CustomerLEs.txt)

In my own database it does the same thing.

What's wrong?

Thanks

Gerard

Take a look at the “CustomerLEs.txt” file located in the Docs folder using notepad.  Check for a space in-between the listed LEs. I actually had to remove “Title” from the list because it’s not on the form.  Or, you can add a “Title” LE to the form.

Mine looks like this:

KEY
First
Last
Company
Add1
Add2
City
State
ZIP
Position
Live_Prospect
Date_Entered
Currency
Checked

If any of the LEs listed have a space between them like:

KEY

First
Last
Etc.,

It will produce this error.

Let me know if this helps,

Brandon

Brandon,

It didn't help. There was no LE called Title nor any spaces.
If I test with only 1 LE name in my merge document it still gives this error.

Found it. There is an (invisible) carriage return at the end of the document that you need to remove.
(That was my bright moment for 2009).

In addition: I looked ad the provided programming. It sais:

// This next line gets rid of embedded carriage returns in the data fields. Replaces with two spaces.
//  This is necessary otherwise the merge will fail
     vData   = @Replace(vData, @Newline(), "  ")

Doesn't this replace a carriage return by a space, which also makes it fail?

No. The replacement is being done on the data, not the list of LE names.

It starts to work. The problem I have now is that in the merged document the LE name (being "name") is also printed, like this:

name^
