Ok I found the problem.  But unsure why it happened both times.  It was the text box.  It Showed in the Data merge Panel that there was 2 identifiers when there was only 1.  So i deleted the text frame and created another one and its working for now.  Do you know why this would happen?  On the Pictures above it stayed like this.  Said there was 2 identifiers even though it showed 3 and 4 above.  But again now its working.

Hi,

Posting screen shot of Data Merge panel might help people here suggest you possible solutions.

Mean while, try clearing your cache and preferences.Troubleshooting 101: Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences

I'll get some pictures up give me a few to crop them. It only affects 1 out of the 10 layouts(that i've noticed) i have now.  However this has happened before.  I've rebuilt the file from scratch to see if the document was corruped but it did the same thing when i Created the new document.  get these screen shots up.

Hi,

From the latest screenshot, it can be inferred that the "Identifier" placeholder is present twice on page 1.

Am happy that finally you could solve your problem.

Yes.  I had it on there twice. One that is not shown and one that is in the above pictures. But as the pictures show it was actually on there 5 times eventhough it only showed 2 times on the panel.
