Please ignore my last question. I revised it to read:
{IF [MERGEFIELD LoanOrLineofCredit } = “Loan†{INCLUDETEXT
“N:\\Precedents\\Loan Approval.docâ€} {INCLUDETEXT
“N:\\Precedents\\Certificate.doc:} }
and found another error in a different field that was causing the error
message. It all works as needed now. So thanks so much for your help!
