I am trying to do a simple IIf expression in the QBE for a query parameter.
What I am trying to type in is IIf([Forms]![frmTest]![tglEdit] = 0,0,,).
What it changes to when I type it in is IIf([Forms]![frmTest]![tglEdit] =
0,0,",") - this then stops the query from working. What do I need to type
to stop the inverted commas from surrounding the second comma?

Dixie,
For one thing you need to write the IIf expression correctly.
You have one too many commas as value separator, and therefore Access
believes you meant the last one to be a value of "," .
The IIf function returns 2 values, a True value if the crireria is
met; a False value otherwise.
=IIf([SomeField] = criteria,True Value,False Value)
=IIf([Forms]![frmTest]![tglEdit] = 0,0,some other value here)
What value do you wish if the criteria is not met?

The syntax is wrong here, IIf() takes 3 parameters, hence two commas,
what do you want to output if tglEdit doesn't equal 0?

Whoops, sorry guys. I wanted no value for the case where the criteria was
not met. I have since done it in a different way whereby it picks up direct
from a text box on the form.
Thanks Fred

In the QBE, IIf(Test, True) works. You don't need a False case.
That does not work in VBA, but in controls and the QBE, it does.
I've been using that forever.
