Word XP ignoring merged field search

[ETID]

This used to work in Word 2000, but now Word XP runs the code but refuses to actually goto the record.

I'm using a mail merged document as a form letter...but only printing one copy based on input from the user.

sub get_merged_record()

dim PE as string

PE="2004-011" 'this value from user via input box

ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.ActiveRecord = wdFirstRecord
ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.FindRecord FindText:=PE, Field _
:="PE_Number "

end sub

any clues?...a missing ref. library perhaps?

Any one....?
