Can't choose between address fields (Word 2002)

[Doug]

Hi,

I am trying to contact property owners, some who live in
state, some in other states, with a merge letter. I set
up a database file in Access 2002 using (in addition to
other fields) two fields for the separate addresses.
Field 2 is blank if they are living in state. I tried to
use If...Then...Else to discriminate between fields but
kept getting "Error! Bookmark not defined." Any help on
setting this mail merge up would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

There are no bookmarks involved so your syntax is wrong.

It should be something along the lines of
{IF{Mergefield Fieldname} = condition "do this" "otherwise do this"}

The field boundaries are entered directly into the document with CTRL+F9
Substitute the four bits of information to suit your needs.
