They are in Word Help - if you can get to the table of contents in Word
2002/2003, look for
"Automating Tasks and Programmability"|"Field Types and Switches", then for
this specific topic look for "Field Reference"|"Switches" and for \*Upper
etc., "Format (\*) field switch".
If you're on another version of Word, things may be different.

1. Are all the {} the special field code braces that you can insert
using ctrl-F9?
2. Is the value definitely XX and not xx, xX etc?
3. Try adding double quotes around the { MERGEFIELD } field, i.e.
{ IF "{ MERGEFIELD PatientCode }" = "XX" "@" "" }

Hi - i am having a few problems with the if then else conditional
statement with word mail merge. The logic that i am looking to
implement is if Value X = XX then print @ else print nothing. The
code is below. Now this seems very simple but for some reason
doesnt work and even when the condition is met it does not print @.
As part of the testing i have printed to screen Value X to confirm
it contains the data for the condition to be met but it doesnt
write the @. { IF { MERGEFIELD PatientCode } = "XX" "@" "" }
So the issue i have is that although the condition seems to have been
met it does not execute the correct part of the conditional
statement. The data being used for the mail merge comes from a SQL
2000 SP3a database.- Hide quoted text -

Hi - thanks for your suggestions - i cant try them at the moment as
production is down 
. With regards word mail merge i dont have any
exeperience apart from the hour or so that i have spent looking at
this issue (although i have numerous years of development experience -
somewhat offset by the fact i am now a manager ).
In one of the suggestions the code used \*Upper - i pressume that
there must be numerous other switches e.g. \*Lower etc. Is there a FAQ
that describes all these 'switches' - cant seem to find mention of
them Word Help.
Thanks in advance,
CM
