iif statement in a default value not working

115 New Member
Hi I'm working on the invoice customer form
and i had those text box :
txtarticle, txtPrice, txtAfterDiscPri ce, txtCashMoney
i want to write this code
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. If (txtAfterDiscPrice is null) then txtCashMoney=txtPrice ;
  2. else 
  3. txtCashMoney=txtAfterDiscPrice;
  4. on the default value of the txtCashMoney.
  5.  
so i wrote this on the default value of the txtCashMoney:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. = iif(isnull(txtAfterDiscPrice ) ,= [txtPrice] ,= [txtAfterDiscPrice ] 
but it's not working does anyone know why ?

If the names and references are right then you could try :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. =Nz([txtAfterDiscPrice],[txtPrice])

The problem I see in this line of code would be the formating. In true / false criteria you don't need the "=", try that again with the "=" removed:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. [txtCashMoney]= iif(isnull([txtAfterDiscPrice] ,[txtPrice] ,[txtAfterDiscPrice])

Colintis,
Closing brackets is missing and a few corrections.. Though this is a replica of Post#2. For correction sake..

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. = IIf(IsNull([txtAfterDiscPrice]) ,[txtPrice] ,[txtAfterDiscPrice])

Take note that if txtPrice or txtAfterDiscPri ce have null/no values then you might see empty space in CashMoney field. Apart from this I am sure that NZ and IIf..IsNull functions of the previous posts should work perfectly.

Just like you proposed .
Try this on the On_Current event of the form.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. If IsNull(txtAfterDiscPrice) then
  2. me.txtCashMoney=txtPrice  
  3. else  
  4. me.txtCashMoney=txtAfterDiscPrice
  5. end if

You say you've "tried this one", but there are three suggestions you could be referring to. I have no idea what you have and haven't tried so I am not in a position to help at this time.

Is it possible to have a default value associated python objects? I.e. to flag an attribute in such a way that the assignment operator for the object returns the default attribute instead of the object itself, but calls to other object attributes are properly resolved? (I don't think so, but I am not sure) Example: class obj(object): x=1 #assume x is somehow made into a default value

Firstly apologies for the convoluted question. I found this problem whilst building a larger database. I've distilled it down to as small as possible and can send a 200k example to anyone who has the time to have a play. Am I doing something silly or is this an Access problem (or other)? Access 2000 3 tables tblID contains ID (autonumber), Data (text) tbl1 contains ID (Number, default = nothing, Primary Key), bool1 (yes/no)

I'm trying to write some simple code, but I might be simplifying it too much. I have a function that either returns a string that I want, or FALSE. In the code that I'm working on, I would like to default to another string if the function returns false. Here's the long way to do it: $string = myFunction(2);

Overview: 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,...
