The error this time i think refers the amount of " (!Syntax Error, " ) as the
previous error was !Syntax Error, * referring to the use of the *

if that makes sense

Hi folks i am using this formula to merge from Access to a table in word

{={MERGEEFIELD "L2"}*100\#"0%"}

which works fine.

Except if there is no data to work on. if it is zero then the result is 0%
thats ok
but if it is null i get !Syntax Error, * how do i supress a null.

Many thanks in advance
