Hi Rene,

OK, after the merge has executed , if «Client_PA_tenaamstelling» has data, you should see:
Aan Client_tenaamstelling data
Client_PA_tenaamstelling data
Client_PA_adres data
Client_PA_postcode data Client_PA_woonplaats data
Client_PA_land data

If «Client_PA_tenaamstelling» is empty, you should see:
Aan Client_tenaamstelling data
Client_PA_adres data
Client_PA_postcode data Client_PA_woonplaats data
Client_PA_land data

If that does not work, then there is another way that might work, with the same field layout:
• First delete the \f "#" switch from the «Client_PA_tenaamstelling» field, so that it goes back to being '{MERGEFIELD "Client_PA_teanaamstelling}', then press F9 to update. You should now see «Client_PA_tenaamstelling» again.
• Second, select the «Client_PA_tenaamstelling» field and make a copy of it, so that you have «Client_PA_tenaamstelling» «Client_PA_tenaamstelling»
• Third, select both fields and press Ctrl-F9, so that you get { «Client_PA_tenaamstelling» «Client_PA_tenaamstelling» }
• Fourth, fill in/around these fields so that you get {IF«Client_PA_tenaamstelling»<> "" "«Client_PA_tenaamstelling»¶
"}, then press F9 to update.
Now try running your merge process, remembering to not just preview it but to complete it via Finish & Merge.
