Hi Michael,
I have not used WP X3, and I have generally avoided the Nest Data (or Nest
Secondary) merge command.
Don's suggestion of WPUniverse is a very good one, I have not lurked there
for a while but when I was active I found it very useful.
In the meantime.
- Has this combination without changes worked in previous versions of
WordPerfect?
- Have you tried merging just with the nested data (secondary) file, just to
see that it works ok?
I found after WP version 11 that some of the the more complex merges I was
performing stopped workings quite the same. The same basic set of merge
documents had worked in all previous Windows versions (and even generally in
WP5.1 for DOS), but once WP got to version 12, very strange problems would
occur, some of the problems were not always repeatable, eg randomly, half of
a graphic would not render; or the merge would terminate after a several
nest primary commands. Corel support even back then was useless. My client
has tried various later versions of WP, and has returned to WP11.
Regards
Brian

Subject: [Dataperf] Slightly off subject
This may not directly be a DataPerfect question but I wonder if someone
might point me in the right direction - I have tried WordPerfect technical
support which seems next to useless here in UK with the free support not
able to answer a "how to" question and "Premium" paid for support not
returning calls 48 hours after contact was made! Corel email support
repeatedly tells me to contact my local telephone support!!
After running various DataPerfect reports and tidying them up in
WordPerfect X3 I run a number of merges to produce Advertiser Renewals,
Invoices & Subscription Renewal letters ; these work fine, however the
form files I use include a table of costs for the various advert formats
which change from time to time. Rather than changing the form files every
time, I thought it worth running another DataPerfect report to create a
merge data file of the advertising rates. Within the forms I have added a
NESTDATA command just before the table and inserted fields from the new
advertising rates data file. On running the merge, the original data is
merged up to the NESTDATA command, the advertising rates are merged
correctly but after that, the merge fails to return to the main data file
and I get blanks where fields should have been inserted.
Can anyone help with this at all please?
Thanks,
Michael
