Do you mean apart from using CTRL+F9 for the field boundaries {}?
In any case it is not going to work. You cannot compare dates like that -
and I seem to recall Macropod showing you how in another thread; however
life's too short to go looking for that thread on a Sunday morning, so what
you should have is presumably:
{IF{Mergefield "CSCS_Test_DateTime" \@ "yyyyMMdd"} {Date \@ "yyyyMMdd"}
"{MERGEFIELD
"CSCS_Test_DateTime" \@ "ddd dd MM hh:mm"}" "{MERGEFIELD
"CSCS_Test_DateTime" \@ "dd MM"}"}

I have been experimenting with a mail merge field all night long and
have finally come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what i put
e.g.
{IF{MERGEFIELD "CSCS_Test_DateTime"} {DATE} {MERGEFIELD
"CSCS_Test_DateTime" \@ "ddd dd MM hh:mm"}
{MERGEFIELD "CSCS_Test_DateTime" dd MM}
The machine just doesn't not like the way i am entering them
They just sit there like a string of mis-spelled text - I know that
when entering array formulas in XL you have to use CTRL + ENTER
Is there some secret handshake that i'm missing?
