Like so: [showif [name]=] [showif [math]errflag[/math]=0] [/showif] [/showif] [showif [address]=] [showif [math]errflag[/math]=0] [/showif] [/showif]Then check for the errnum/errflag combos: [showif [math]errflag[/math]>0] Oops!

[/showif] [showif [math]errnum[/math]=2] supply us with your mailing address. Thanks!
