Marcelino from Hephzibah, Georgia (a Silver Member) asks: In my table, I store fields for Company Name, First Name, and Last Name. Sometimes I have all three, but other times I only have a company name or a person's name. I want to ensure that when printing statements, the Company Name shows up if it is available, and if not, the person's name is printed instead.
