I'm not sure what inverted commas are, but I have this:
UserDB    default    scratch       "contacted price_level credit_limit"

In my page I have:

[tmp user][data session username][/tmp] 
[data table=userdb column=dealer key="[scratch user]"]
[if scratch contacted]
Youve been contacted
[else]
You havent been contacted
[/else]
[/if]
[scratch price_level]
[scratch credit_limit]

The result is "You havent been contacted", and none of the other fields 
are printed out.
