IIF statement failure - Microsoft Access / VBA

In a query I have a calculated field that I want to look at field [FEE SCHEDULE]![OFF] and if it does not equal 0.00 return ([FEE SCHEDULE]![OFF] but if it equals 0.00 return [SC 85%]. I have it written as:

SC: IIf([FEE SCHEDULE]![OFF]<>"0.00",[FEE SCHEDULE]![OFF],IIf([FEE SCHEDULE]![OFF]="0.00",[SC 85%]))

But all I get is #ERROR. How should I be writing this to return the correct responses?

Thank you!

Thank you!

1) Is [OFF] a numeric field? If it is then you don't need the quotes.

2) There is no need for the second IIF.

3) Is [SC 85%] a field?

Yes [OFF] is numeric and removing the quotes did the trick. I originally had it written as:

SC: IIf([FEE SCHEDULE]![OFF]="0.00",[SC 85%],[FEE SCHEDULE]![OFF])

but changed it to the other trying to make it work. I changed it back to this without the quotes and it worked great.

Thank you for the quick response!
