I don't think they are intentionally making things difficult. They provide this product to dozens of other offices and are providing the most commonly requested options and features. It just happens that we want to do a few things outside the norm and that's what's causing the problem. For a fee, of course, they'll create just about anything we want. I'm sure what I need is possible with an IF of some sort, I just don't know how to write it. I tried the Help files but they were no help. I personally can get the data another way and manipulate however I like but that defeats the objective of having a simple process for those not necessarily adept at this kind of thing. Mostly the system works well enough though so no major complaints. However, situations like this are MOST annoying. Thanks for trying to help. /g -----Original Message----- From: Anne Robson [mailto:anne.robson2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 11:44 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Word Form IF Statement...Maybe? I'm sorry Glenda. I've never had any experience of working in such restrictive conditions so I can't imagine how this operates. All I can suggest is that you ask them to create a filter on the original worksheet to provide you with access to the records that you need. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
