Fixed my problem. This had to do with user defined fields not coming over correctly during the Version 9 upgrade. The fields came over in a folder called Sales. When I opened the actual sample db provided by Maximizer called Sales none of the merge fields would work. I reported this error to them and they are working on it.
In my case I went into Administrator and created a new folder for all the user defined fields. I went into the existing folder and removed the mandatory flag from any fields. Then I just selected and dragged the fields to the new folder. This resulted in all the data being copied over automatically. I also verified the db but all was fine. I made sure my folder name was the same as I had assigned in my web inquiry form so I could import the MTI files.
Maximizer was working with me on this but I was glad to develop a work-around.
