Hi Heliotrope,

Actually, you don't need to *remove* the country from Business_Address
before making the comparison. All you need to do is to code the field to
disregard it.

An IF test with a wildcard will do the trick. The field construction is:
{IF{MERGEFIELD Business_Address}= "{ MERGEFIELD Mailing_Address }*"
{MERGEFIELD "Company"}}

Cheers

This question derives from the helpful exchange "Conditionally print
outlook
company in mail merge (4/22/06)."

I tried the suggested solution but found that when Business_Address
includes
the country, the routine fails. Here's the key part:
{IF "{ MERGEFIELD "Mailing_Address" }" = "{ MERGEFIELD
"Business_Address" }"
"{MERGEFIELD "Company"}. How do I programatically remove the country
from
Business_Address before making the comparison?
