Testing mergedata to prevent printing a document
Does anyone know of a way to test data in a mergefield and prevent printing
the document if data matches the tested criteria. I have tried an if statement with STOP as what to do if the criteria are met but unfortunately this doesn't work. Any ideas? -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

Hi,
OctoTools, a commercial document management software, has this capability and could be justified if you have a medium to high volume application or need an automated solution. Let me know if you have any interest. Phone (978) 535-7676 (Boston, MA USA) or e-mail larry at jbmsystems dot com Larry T. |

Hi JohnD,
Does anyone know of a way to test data in a mergefield and prevent printing the document if data matches the tested criteria. I have tried an if statement with STOP as what to do if the criteria are met but unfortunately this doesn't work. Well, you could set a QueryOption to simply suppress any records that meet the criterium... Other than that, you'd need to use VBA to test the data before allowing the merge to execute. Or, perhaps even better, check the data before allowing it to be connected to the main merge document, which would prevent the user from printing the main merge document, itself, with data displaying.
