Hans-Joachim Leidinger kindly sent some guidance:

I tried this and the page displays:
[seti dummy] [/seti] 

error.log suggests: Bad data 'auxdb::code::4659' '' ''
I created a fresh database with only two fields so I am fairly certain that
the database is ok...

>or try the [if-data...] tag.

[if-data auxdb code]
There is extra information.
[/if-data]

I had tried this but it also fails but have found a functional solution:

[if-data auxdb any_other_field_except_code]
There is extra information.
[/if-data]

Works great!

Thanks
