**** Mailing List Field Export 'Duplicate Organization Name' Fix. *****

This problem was documented early along with eBase 1.02, I believe.

Work Around
~~~~~~~~~
The problem is the selection of the NAME LINE\LABEL field for export.
This is a documented problem with eBase and the user is recommended to use 
the NAME LINE\LABEL HOUSEHOLD field.
This will correct the duplicate organization name issue.

You should change all occurances of the above field reference, especially 
your letter and report formats.

Example Field Below for mailing label format
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<<NAME LINE\LABEL HOUSEHOLD>>
<<POSITION>>
<<BUSINESS\ORGANIZATION>>
<<ADDRESS LINE\LETTER>>
<<CITY LINE>>

Hope this helps you out.

I'm new too ebase and am having a problem exporting data to a word based 
mail
program. I could use some help (I didn't find this readily answered in the
archives). Here's my problem

When I merge my export data into word, I am getting the organization name
printed twice on the mailing label instead of the person at the agency. I
don't know what I'm doing wrong here. From what I can see, it looks like if 

the account is indicated to be an organization, then I'm getting the agency 

name twice as the name field. If the account is marked as an individual, in 

most cases, it looks like I'm getting the right address, even if there is a 

company line indicated. Is there a way to fix this without changing every
account to an Individual designation?
