I'm trying to put a function into a query. I want to check the
logical field "closed." If it's true, I want to return a text value
of "Closed". If false, I want to return a text value of "Not Yet."
Here's the value in the query:
Expr1: IF([closed],"Closed","N ot Yet")
It accepts it without an error message, but when I try to display it I
get the error message "Undefined Function IF in expression." I've
tried using an equal sign in front of the if, but the program strips
it as soon as you leave the cell. I've tried it with "closed"
unbracketed, with the database name included, with closed=0, and none
of them work.
What do I need to do to make this work?

The function your looking for is called Immediate-If and is written as...
IIf(Test,Return IfTrue, ReturnIfFalse)
So in your case...
Expr1: IIf([closed],"Closed","N ot Yet")

Dave,
There is a simpler way than trying to do this in the query.
(You've already been told about using IIf instead of If.)
Is the query going to be used as a report record source?
If so, and the field [Closed] is a Check box field, just let the query
show the actual check value of -1 or 0.
In the report, simply add the check box field to the report.
Set it's Format property to:
;"Closed";"N ot Yet"
See Access help regarding the Format property
+ formatting numbers and currency datatypes.

Thanks everyone. I figured it was something trivial that I was
missing.

Hello!
I am having some problems with a database query that I am trying to do.
I am trying to develop a way to search a database for an entry and
then edit the existing values. Upon submit, the new values are updated
in all corresponding tables (the function of the pages in question).
However, on the page that does the DB update, I also want to do some
checks on the data before performing the update.
Now, the problem that I am...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
