Don't know that it matters, but you need a space after IF.

Hello all,

When I do a mail merge with VB, I am trying to update a certain value on
my word document...
It is using an IF field... But on the new merged document it just appears
blank with no value

{ IF{MERGEFIELD PowerConnected } = 1 "Note: Power was connected at time of
inspection." "Note: Power was not connected at time of inspection." }

In the data I am passing PowerConnected does equal 1 ... is there anything
you could suggest....
thanks

Nathan
