I can't see the data in this venue but I can see it on the data
side...it's complicated but the answer is there is only one record in
each field. =20
Since I can't get what I'm going for in a mergefield, I'm starting to
suspect one cannot use like or not like comparisons.
sigh....looks like Plan B again. /g

Since you can't see the original data, is there any chance that some of
=3D the records have BOTH a telephone number and an email address?

In Word, I created a mergefield EXACTLY as Ray's, including spacing. In
Excel, I created a worksheet with 2 columns.
Column 1 Name contains 4 records: Blue, Red, Rose, Daisy
Column 2 Address contains 4 records: berry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
irish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, 123-456-7890, (321)-654-0987
The desired result is 2 records: Rose --- 123-456-7890, Daisy ---
(321)-654-0987
The actual result is 2 records: Red --- irish@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Daisy ---
(321)-654-0987
Is this bizarre or is it just me? For some reason it's skipping every =
=3D
other record and ignoring the not like request. Maybe like and not like
can't =3D work in a merge field?
