Merge field problem

[mickeyfinn]

I am trying to have merge fields display correctly on a layout. I can get it to work on layouts that are set to display data from the original table occurrence (the one that was created when I initially created the table), but when I try to get them to display on a different table occurrence (in a different TOG), it just displays thus: <>.

I am careful when setting up the merge field that I select from the same table occurrence that the layout is displaying data from but it will not display. Is this a limitation of the application? I can't find anything in the Help files to confirm/deny this.

Thanks in advance for all replies.

The layout should be based off the Table occurrence that you want to display info from. You could also ahve related items on the layout. However, unrelated items will not work.

I am doing that. The Layout is displaying data from Line Items: List. I have made sure the merge fields are from that table occurrence also. It does not work. The only way it works is if I put the merge field in a layout displaying data from the original table occurrence.

Never mind. It looks like the colon ( in my table occurrence name was causing the error. Strange that no other relationships were affected.
