Calculations in Mail Merge

edited February 2008 in General
Is it possible to use ppVariables in the RTF mail merge or is there another
option to handle calculations? I need to add 30 and 60 days to a date that
is merged in.

Thanks

    Hi Annette,

    There are no events to actually alter the individual merge values at runtime
    however you can use the OnMailMerge event of the TppRichText component to
    alter the entire RichText after the values have been merged. Inside this
    event, you would need to use the RichText editing routines and properties
    such as SelText, SelStart, and SelLength to edit the RichText output.

    An event to customize the individual merged values is something we may
    consider adding for a later release of ReportBuilder.
