In my document, I am attempting to merge in several date
fields that do not always contain data. I am finding that
when the datasource (Excel format) field is null, today's
date merges into the document. No amount of manipulation
of IF fields has given me the result I need. I need it to
remain blank if there is no date entered into the original
source. I don't know if this matters, but the Excel
datasource is overwritten on a monthly basis from another
software program export, so changing the formatting or
subsituting something in the Excel spreadsheet for the
blank fields will not work. The data will change too
frequently and it will become prohibitive.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Oh, and did I mention that tomorrow is my last day on this
job and I really need to have this done before I go?
