I am new to this forum so please excuse the silly question.

I am using Publisher 2002. I use a database that I started from Excel 2002.
I print membershiip cards from Publisher. I mail merge my recipient list
from Excel. I am now over the 10,000 mark for new cards. When I am in
Publisher and I go to edit the recipient list, only the first 10,000 numbers
show. When I UN-CLICK the ones I don't want to print, then complete the
merge, ALL of the 10,000 names appear to print. When I click on the ID #
column it will then do a assending sort list and the ones that are 10,000
and above will show. Even if I only have two names clicked, it wants to
revert back to printing over 10,000 cards.

Did something get corrupted in the program?

If I use a new database with just the new members, even though their numbers
are 10,000 and above, it will print fine.

I can't see that I've done anything wrong to my Excel database. It worked
fine before I reached the 10,000 mark.

HELP !!!!!

What I meant by the "new database". The ID #'s are consecutively over the
10,000 number but there may only be 100 names & numbers in the new database.
Not over 10,000 names & numbers.

Sorry if this sounds confusing.
