Thanks for all your help, but I figured out what I did wrong I was calling the memberNotes field using
echo $get_detail->Fields("memberNotes") so when I replaced $memberNotes in the script with $get_detail->Fields("memberNotes") it worked like a charm If ($get_detail->Fields("memberNotes")) { $notes = "<div align=left><font size=-1><b>Notes:</b></font></div>"; } else { $notes = ""; } Dumb error on my part.
