Servus Karl, und danke schoen!
This change did resolve the mail merge issue as described. I have no idea how or why this setting was changed. I KNOW that I did not do this!
However, the merge itself (one record) is taking over half a minute to execute on an otherwise very fast machine (i9 processor, SSD drive for applications and a high-speed hard disk for data and 32GB of RAM)
Also, as mentioned in the original post, the application is very slow to start if I try to open the db directly. Any thoughts on that one??
