I want to insert either an open box or a checked box into a document based on
the value of another merge field.
Something like:
{if {Mergefield Location = "H"}, then {symbol 84 \f"Wingdings
2"\s18},{symbol 163 \f"Wingdings 2"\s18}}

Of course i can't get this to work properly, why else would i be here!!!

Try

{ SYMBOL { IF "{ MERGEFIELD Location }" = "H" "84" "163" } \f "Wingdings"
\s18 }

where all the () are the special field braces you can insert using ctrl-F9
