Hi mrtinfl,

Without even viewing the demo, I can tell you the problem is with the IF field. That's because it gets evaluated and converted to plain text immediately the merge for each record begins.

You need an approach that avoids the IF field. Try using just a single Section with the footer field coded as:
{={SECTIONPAGES}-{PAGE} \# "'Continued...';;"}
for a letter or label merge, or:
{={NUMPAGES}-{PAGE} \# "'Continued...';;"}
for a Directory or Catalogue merge.
