There is some kind of a bug in the textmerge (this is an old program) so that nothing is produced the first time the program is run. If the program produces nothing, which sometimes occurs, then I have to manually go into a table and reverse the FLAG field's value from .T. to .F. in order for us to run the program a second time, in which we usually get the results we want. I didn't write the program; it usually works but is faulty on occasion. I was re-writing it, but in this manufacturing plant, I am continually interrupted.
