CONDITIONAL FORMATTING IF/THEN STATEMENTS - MAIL MERGE
pjretels 12/4/2008 6:19:02 PM
I have several conditional statements that are if/then situations but
everytime I think I have them figured out and run my mail merge, I get an op
control error.

Here are the examples:

If a is null then enter b, if not null, enter c.

If a and b are not null, enter <cannedtext>, if null, enter nothing.

If x = N, then enter a <checkmark>

If x = N, then enter <cannedtext>

If x is null, then enter <checkmark>

HELP PLEASE!!!!

Make sure that you have a space either side of the =

e.g.

{ a = "" "b" "c"}

not

{ a="" "b" "c" }
