Multiple Conditional Characters in Mailmerge
Here's the problem:
I have four "first name" fields that I want to appear in a specific format based upon if the contents are null. I would like them to appear in the following formats depending upon if the next field is not empty. Child_First_1 or Child_First_1 & Child_First_2 or Child_First_1, Child_First_2 & Child_First_3 or Child_First_1, Child_First_2 , Child_First_3 & Child_First_4 I keep messing up the formatting of the IF statement. Any help would be appreciated. |

Multiple Conditional Characters in Mailmerge
Hi Tim,
Coding your fields like the following should work: {IF{MERGEFIELD Child_First_4} "" "{MERGEFIELD Child_First_1}, {MERGEFIELD Child_First_2}, {MERGEFIELD Child_First_3} & {MERGEFIELD Child_First_4}" {IF{MERGEFIELD Child_First_3} "" "{MERGEFIELD Child_First_1}, {MERGEFIELD Child_First_2}, & {MERGEFIELD Child_First_3}" {IF{MERGEFIELD Child_First_2} "" "{MERGEFIELD Child_First_1}, & {MERGEFIELD Child_First_2}" {MERGEFIELD Child_First_1}}}} Cheers "Tim Whitley" wrote in message ...
