      Hello,

      First of all, i’m new on this forum and i hope i’m posting this in the right topic.

      I’m doing this catalogue project for a client of mine and i’ve mostly been working with the data merge system.
      My client made this excel list (in the way i asked him to do it) and this is working great but recently i read
      if you put the base of your merge system on your master page, your txt file keeps a link. Before this i was
      working with a “base” file and i merge into a new file everytime. So when i put the base of my merge on the
      master page it would save me a step or two.

      It works perfect with all my files but one, when i update my data merge file it just deletes a text frame on all of my pages … not even the one i made an adjustment to
      in my txt file.

      Ik hope my explanation is clear enough for you guys to understand.
      Anybody has an idea what the problem could be?

      I assume you cant post screenshots on here? It would be much easier to explain :)

      greets Jelle

      While you can’t upload images here, you can put them on image sharing sizes, such as imgur and then include the link here.

      However, your description makes me think this could be a tricky problem to figure out. There’s no good reason why it should delete a frame like that.
