Default Skip if - Fill-in

No! You would use a query in Access as the data source. But why not
produce the labels in Access? It has a very capable Label Report Wizard.

That is not the sort of thing that you can do with Skip if and Fill in
Fields. It is far better to manipulate the data in the data source.
What
are you using for that?

I have a zip code field in my data base. I would like to use have
Fill-in
and Skip If determine what records I use.

Example:
I would like once the merge document is open for Fill in to prompt
"What
Zip
Code would you like to Filter for?" then have all records without that
Zip
code Skipped.

Question - how would I go about inserting this?
