When the field NationalFilingDate is blank, it produces this result: 12:00:00
AM.
Because of this, I am assuming that ApplicationDate won't be produced
because the field is not actually blank, right?
Using the code above, when the NationalFilingDate has no date in the field,
the ApplicationDate has today's date rather than the ApplicationDate, which
by itself produces 10/15/2008.

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"} }
.
