#ERROR question
My formula:
Mid([f1],InStr(10,[f1],": ")-1) returns #ERROR if the value is blank, otherwise works fine. Any ideas how to change my formula to get beyond the #ERROR? Thanks mike -- Message posted via http://www.accessmonster.com

#ERROR question
Mid doesn't play well with 0, negative numbers, or nulls.
IIf(Len([f1])10, Mid([f1],InStr(10,[f1],": ")-1),Null) Or maybe IIf(InStr(10,[f1],": "10, Mid([f1],InStr(10,[f1],": ")-1),Null) -- Jerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong. Cheap. Pick two.
