>I'm using WORD 2003 Automation. I'm doing mail merge with a DBF as the data source. When there is a merge field in the WORD doc that doesn't have a source field in the DBF, I get an "Invalid Merge Field" error. Is there a way to trap this error or any other errors generated by WORD?

I don't think TRY/CATCH solution can trap these errors. I think we were having some weird problems doing MailMerge when the Word displayed Switch to /Retry dialog. Not because of the field errors, but because it was taking too long.
