"UpTooLate", indeed.

Trying it this morning, things seem to work fine with, simply,

"(somefield)", i.e. no need for a separate operator to concatenate the
strings "(" and ")" with the value of the mergefield.

Thanks to the examples in unrelated postings!

Cheers.

I'd like to be able to put, say,

" ("&somefield&")"

in the "true" part of a mailmerge if-then-else, but "&" doesn't seem to work
as a string concatenation operator there. Did I fumble the syntax, or is
there another way to go about that?
