Mail Merge From Spreadsheet
 
Hello,

I have a 300-400 item contact list which resides on a Network share. One of
my users is trying to Mail Merge to a workstation-local document, importing
from the aforementioned spreadsheet. There are two issues which I am
currently experiencing and are as follows:

1.) First and most importantly, when merging from this datasource when it
resides on the network I receive the following error:

"a field calculation occured in record 2220"

However, when copying this to the user's workstation and running the same
merge, no errors are reported.

2.) When the contact list resides on the network, the merge will
consistently take great lengths of time and often will just timeout
altogether. I have tried all available data-connection methods with no
significant performance increase. Overall there is not much latency on the
network from the workstation perspective (generally speaking), so I'm
wondering why this could be so slow.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Tim
