I have a Word 2003 template and I need to insert a field where if the
createdate (year only) = savedate (year only) I have to print the save date
(year only). I presume I have to use conditional fields but I can't make it
work and keep getting a too many picture switches error message. Can
somebody help me? Both the create and save date must come from the system,
with no user input.

If you are only interested in the years this is fairly straightforward

{ IF{ CREATEDATE \@ "yy" } = { SAVEDATE \@ "yy" } "{ SAVEDATE \@ "yy" }" }

If you are interested in the whole dates, but want to print only the year
then

{ IF{ CREATEDATE \@ "yyyyMMdd" } = { SAVEDATE \@ "yyyyMMdd" } "{ SAVEDATE \@
"yy" }" }
