Are you sure that a blank record entry actually does produce a blank? Insert
the field on its own and see what it produces, then trap that. Otherwise
apart from the smart quotes it looks OK.
Personally I would quote the alternative options also
{ IF { MERGEFIELD NationalFilingDate }= "" "{ MERGEFIELD ApplicationDate \@
"MMMM dd, yyyy" }" "{ MERGFIELD NationalFilingDate \@ "MMMM dd, yyyy"}" }

Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this code. What I am trying
to
do is:
IF NationalFilingDate field is blank, THEN input the ApplicationDate ELSE
input the NationalFilingDate using the format of MMMM dd, yyyy. This is
the
code that I have so far:
{ IF { MERGEFIELD NationalFilingDate }= "" { MERGEFIELD ApplicationDate \@
"MMMM dd, yyyy" } { MERGFIELD NationalFilingDate \@ "MMMM dd, yyyy"} }
