Default Word field stops working on template launch

Hi,

I've created a .dot template file (I've tried it with a .dotx template also with the same issue) and am launching it from an Access database. The Word template contains three fields: {FILENAME \* MERGEFORMAT} {DATE \@ "dd/MM/yy" \* MERGEFORMAT} {PAGE }. The problem is as follows:

1) The database names the new document, saves it under the new name and launches the Word template - and works fine
2) When the document opens, the DATE field and the PAGE NUMBER field work fine and when you click on them they are still fields which will update as normal.
3) The FILENAME field, however, is replaced with the name of the template - not actually of the filename. Worse still, this is no longer a field name so can't update with the new filename.

I've trawled the net and am baffled as to why this would be happening and what I can do to fix it. Hope you guys are cleverer than me!

Regards,

Andrew
