Hi Largefry,
To set up the field coding to do this:
1. Make a duplicate of your mailmerge date field, so that you get two fields looking like:
«MergeDate»«MergeDate»
2. Select both of these fields and press Ctrl-F9, to create a set of field braces around the two fields:
{«MergeDate»«MergeDate»}
3. Type inside the nested fields so that they look like:
{IF«MergeDate»= 0 "" «MergeDate»}
4. Press F9 to update
5. Run your mailmerge.
Cheers
