I'm trying to use an IF statement to add text to a 2003 Word doc based on the
numerical value of a form field (whose bookmark name is TimeAndExpense). It's
not working.

Here's the field code:

{ IF { FORMTEXT TimeAndExpense } >0 "Display This Text" " " }

Am I trying something that's not possible? If the form field with bookmark
name TimeAndExpense is blank, the text string is nonetheless displayed.

Thanks...
 
IF fields in forms require REF fields to reference form field bookmarks. So
you need this:

{ IF { REF TimeAndExpense } > 0 "Display This Text" }

You don't need the FalseText if it's just blank.

Note the field will not work without macro assistance if placed in the
header/footer; and if in the body of the text, you will need to set the
calculate on exit property of the TimeandExpense form field in order to
force the calculation.
