How do I select the records to print by compare the date in the Mailmerge
table ?  I need to print those records if the field of the date (in yyyymmdd
format) is over 30 days from todays date.   Thanks ....

This is going to be quite tricky to achieve and the solution is based on
work by Macropod (linked from my web site -
http://www.gmayor.com/insert_a_date_other_than_today.htm )

You can use a SKIPIF field to eliminate all records that don't fit the
criteria by adding a complex field structure to your document: Copy the code
from the link and edit it to match that below - that way you will not make
as many mistakes ;)

{ SET DueDate {QUOTE {SET Delay 30}{SET a{=INT((14-{DATE \@ M})/12)}}{SET
b{={DATE \@ yyyy}+4800-a}}{SET c{={DATE \@ M}+12*a-3}}{SET d{DATE \@ d}}{SET
jd{=d+INT((153*c+2)/5)+365*b+INT(b/4)-INT(b/100)+INT(b/400)-32045+Delay}}{SET
e{=INT((4*(jd+32044)+3)/146097)}}{SET f{=jd+32044-INT(146097*e/4)}}{SET
g{=INT((4*f+3)/1461)}}{SET h{=f-INT(1461*g/4)}}{SET
i{=INT((5*h+2)/153)}}{SET dd{=h-INT((153*i+2)/5)+1}}{SET
mm{=i+3-12*INT(i/10)}}{SET yy{=100*e+g-4800+INT(i/10)}}{=dd*10^6+mm*10^4+yy
\# "00'-'00'-'0000"} \@ "yyyyMMdd"} }{ SKIPIF { MERGEFIELD Datefield \@
"yyyyMMdd" } < { DueDate } }

Put the name of your date field in the last line in place of 'Datefield'
