Default When merging from database, ignore certain values

We use Word to produce all the job-control documents from our SQL Server
database, and have many mergefields working in these documents.
However there are occasions when the value in the database is such that we
do not want the merge to take place.
For example in our Customers table we have the value "New Prospect" and if
this has been entered on a job in the database, it will print out on the docs
whenever the mergefield Customer: is used.
I would like to code this mergefield so that if the value is found to be
"New Prospect" it would be ignored and the field would not be populated on
the doc.
I know this is some sort of If statement but I cannot get anything to
work.....help, please!
Many thanks
