Default IIf function Problem

In VBA, Access always attempts to run both parts of the IIf statement. The
behaviour's different when using IIf statements in queries.

I am getting an error message that indicates that Access is still trying to
perform the DLookup or "False" when the result should be "True".
Here is my code:
IIf(IsNull(Me.Days), "No repair time should be allotted.", _
DLookup("Return", "ltblDays", "Lookup = " & Me.Days))
So when Me.Days is tabbed into and out of w/o entry, or an entry is made
and
then deleted, the DLookup attempts to run but is null and so cannot
complete
it's Dlookup. Any ideas why the code isn't recognizing a True statement
and
stopping before running the False??
Thanks so much!
