Ok then, so that I may possibly better my template (perhaps simplifying it to as RA suggests), the next line is: Dear %Capital(%TOFNAME=+%if:"%ABToHandle"<>"":"%- %if:'%ABToHandle'<>'%ABToFirstName':'%ABToHandle':'%ABToFirstName'":"%ABToFirstName"+) Thank you so much. -- Beautiful Butterfly Displays http://FramedButterflyArt.com ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
