RichText and MailMerge

edited October 2008 in General
Hi,

Is it possible to conditionally add text in the Mail Merge feature of the
RichText. For example, I want to format an address but I only want to put a
comman after the City if the city field is not blank. Plus, I only want to
add additional line feeds if a certain field is not blank.

We previously use a product called RB Addon that had these features
available in their RichText/MailMerge component but it doesn't seem to have
been updated for years and I'm concerned about using it will RB 11.

Thanks,
Scott

    Hi Scott,

    Take a look at the OnMailMerge event that was added for the RichText
    component. This allows you to manually edit the RichText document after the
    mail merge fields have been replaced with data values and will fire each
    time the mail merge operation is completed.
