Simple printing question.

[Blamdude]

I'm putting together a letter to send out to a group of customers. The customer's first name is in customers.firstname.

How do I write a formula to print "Dear Dan" and then "Dear Molly" etc.

I tried as follows

"Hello" {customers.firstname}

but I just end up with the customer's first name.


Thanks

In the field explorer->formula->new->enter:

"Hello" + {customers.firstname}+", "

You would need a group on a customer ID or name, and then place the formula in the group header.

Sorry, that should have been:

"Hello " + {customers.firstname}+", "

...with a space after hello.
