Thank you Jose. I see the problem. I'm so used to working with form letters where that document merges with another to contain the data. With Bookmarks, it puts the information in the original document. I was inadvertantly doing a file save on the original so it kept adding the data. Thanks for your help.

>>There appears to be a limitation with Word 2000 and memo field lengths as it chops off the data after a couple of sentences so I began using Bookmarks instead of inserting fields in the Word Document. This works Beautifully (thank you Jose Constant), there doesn't appear to be any limitation to the size of a bookmark. The problem I have, however, is that the Document seems to keep track of the number of times it's used and is inserting the bookmark more than just the one time. The application calls up a Mailmerge document in Word that also has several bookmarks. It brings in the data fine, then I close the document, choose another product, do the mail merge and it brings up the information a second time. If I close the document and bring up another product and do the mail merge, it lists the bookmark a third time, etc. Ex: Lets say I have a Section 1. and then have a bookmark. The content of the bookmark should be 'The dog ran.' If I do the merge three times, the content of
>>Section 1. is 'The dog ran. The dog ran. The dog ran.' When I check the Table that is storing the values (memo fields) for the document, the memo field contains the proper information (only one sentence). What is going on here?
