Hi,

For the life of me, I can't figure out what I am doing
wrong.  I will try to explain it to the best of my
ability.  

When I am viewing my document so that I can see the merge
fields (not the field codes), the result for New Order #:
displays (See Example 1).

However, when I view the results (either through a merge
to new document or view in the merge document), the result
for New Order #: disappears (See Example 2).

Example 1:  (normal mailmerge view)
=================================================Qty    Model #    Description    Serial #
    «ITEMNO»    «ITEMDESC»   
    «Next Record»«ITEMNO»    «Next Record»«ITEMDESC»   
    «Next Record»«ITEMNO»    «Next Record»«ITEMDESC»   

Replacement Order:    New Order #: 241778
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Example 2:  (with merge results displayed)
==================================================   
Qty    Model #    Description    Serial #
    -813S                             TWIN/FUTON METAL
BUNK BED                  
           
           

Replacement Order:    New Order #:
Qty    Model #    Description    Value
       
I am using an IF statement to achieve the results I need
{if {mergefield itemno} <> " " {mergefield orderno}}.

My question is ...

Why wont the results display when viewing the merge
results?  

One more bit of information ...

This is only a problem when I have multiple merge fields
with {next record} in the document above where the orderno
is to display and don't have that many records in the data
source.  i.e.  3 lines with {next} and only 1 line of data
in the source file.

THANKS for any help you can give,

Warmest regards,

Gilley
