On another topic:

About nine months ago I asked you for advice on choosing a relational
database for my research. I'm now using Lotus Approach, but I need to
write mail-merge output involving if/then condition statements (_if_
there is no data in the journal-title field _then_ print the contents of
the title field in italics). Approach doesn't do this, that I can see
... any ideas??? (I suspect my very patient supervisor is at the end of
her tolerance of the current held-together-with sellotape-and-
inappropriately-italicised printouts - I certainly am!)

Best wishes,

Pat
