Is there a way to conditionally “merge” (show) a form or table into a
document during a merge? Or maybe show/hide a footer conditionally?

I am trying to print a remittance form if a condition is true and not print
it if false.

Use an If...then...else field.

That's what I thought, and I did try that route but it seems an If... then...
else doesn't work with a form for some reason. I can get the stuff outside
the form when the condition is met but not the form itself.

Thanks,

Robert

Doug,

Well that’s embarrassing! You are right; I didn’t set up the true false
conditions correctly. Oh what havoc an extra “ can cause. Goes to show you
what fresh eyes, a bit of rest and morning cup of coffee can do.

Thanks,

Robert
