Default Criteria to return all records if selection from form is null

Hi,

I'm trying to pass multiple query criteria from form controls. I'm using
the following type of syntax for the criteria:

Like Nz([Forms]![ViewEdit Completed Procedures]![SelectOBy],"*")

And this works fine for the fields where there are no Nulls in the data, but
if there are Nulls in this field I don't get those records. Quite
understandable since Like "*" doesn't return Nulls.

What I'm trying to do is to return all records when there is nothing chosen
in the selection box on the form. I've tried a bunch of different IIfs with
various use of quote marks, on the order of:

IIf(IsNull([Forms]![ViewEdit Completed Procedures]![SelectOBy]),"Not Is Null
Or Is Null",[Forms]![ViewEdit Completed Procedures]![SelectOBy])

but they either don't get all the records or they kick a "too complex"
error.

I'm sure this must be easier than I'm making it. Could anyone give me some
help?

Thanks in advance,

Sue
