check current mailmerge field against previous

[a]

Hello,

is it possible to check a current mailmerge filed ("NextNo") against the
previous value? i have a table which lists all people associated to a
company. i know that the max number of people is 15. so i have a table with
15 rows which will display people associated to the current company. however
if there are only 2 people associated to a company the way then the last
person is duplicated 14 times!

in each row on the table i have a "next record if", i then need a "if then
else" statement which should be:

if current value of "nextno"= previous value of nextno then show nothing
else display "Tno"

Any help would be great

Cheers

The approach described in this KB article should do what you need:
