I'm trying to create an FMP-If..... FMP-Else.... statement to do the following;

If the field 'Abstract' is empty (contains no text), to return the value 'Not available'.

If the field 'Abstract' isn't empty (contains text), to return the value 'View' as a hyperlink to another page.

The same applies to a second field, called URL.

Is this possible?

You might find the Sample File Forum useful or not.

Try creating a boolean caculation, cIsEmpty, that tests for the empty field.

[FMP-IF cIsEmpty.eq.1]

Not available

[FMP-ELSE]

View

[/FMP-IF]

From CDML reference database:

[FMP-If: ClientUserName .neq.]

Everyone who has entered a user name will see this message.

[/FMP-If]

OR

[FMP-If: Abstract .eq.]

Not Available

[FMP-Else]

<a href="[FMP-Field:Abstract]">View</a>

[/FMP-If]

All the best.
