I am using Access 2003 to open a Mail Merge document using the following
VB code.  The document uses a text file as the datasource.  This worked
in Access 2000, but the document will not open in Access 2003, word
opens and the status bar displays "docname.doc: 1,222 characters..."

I have the following condition:
If ( Mergefield Anything = "test" "it is a test" "It's not a "test"!")
I would like to display: It's not a "test"! but I have a problem because ""
is used as condition in word. How can I ignore "" in the second sentence ?

Is there a limit to how many 'If_then_else' statements a mail merge document
can contain?
