Skip if - Fill-in
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? -- Work is sometimes hard....but someone has to do it. |

Skip if - Fill-in
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? -- Hope this helps.

Skip if - Fill-in
its an Access Database. So basically I am gonna have to save the merged form
with a SkipIf ????? as many times as I have filters. -- Work is sometimes hard....but someone has to do it.

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. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
