I have the following problem, using the Word merge:
Running the sample word merge application, the application works fine, word does open and displays the data normally.

I've put the programming in my database, and the following problem occurs.
When i merge, the merge file customers.tx is created normally, MS Word opens, but displays a "file-conversion" screen, asking in which text coding format the customer.txt file is.

Standard is selects Unicode (UTF-8) as format, but can select ASCII or other formats. I just need to click 'OK' (UTF-8) is fine i guess, and then the Word-file opens correctly with the data.

How can i prevent the UTF-8 popup?
Could it just be in the textcontent: use of special characters like "é"?
thanks in advance!

Greetings from a enthousiastic user of sesame in The Netherlands

I'm working with Word version 2000,  Sesame 1.1.3, Windows 2000(DUTCH) and Windows XP(DUTCH).

Thanks, for your answer, it helped me further.

Afterall it turned out, that there was an field of type 'boolean' in the sesame database.
The database was converted from Q&A, and mostly the field is empty, (and also seems empty in sesame).

but when print-merging,  the field exports an "ÿ" character in the textfile, which caused the problem
