This works ok, but for items that are well out of date, or
past the NextTestDate, they were shown as OKAY, So I removed
that and now those said items are showing as blank in an
OutOfDate field I am using.

Is there a way of differentiating between items that are OKAY
and those that are out of date.

Thanks

First test for "Past Due", then your /Soon Due:.

iif( NextTestDate date(),"OverDue",iif(date()=
NextTestDate +7,"Due Soon","OK"))




Thanks , but I am getting missing operand error, or more
precisely

+operator, in an expression without a corresponding operand


sorry forgot some parentheses, Access was calculating the

difference
between the dates, returning true or false, then adding 7.

iif( mydate date(),"OverDue",iif((myDate-date()7),"Due

Soon","OK")

oops, change mydate to NextTestDate in both places.


Thanks, but now getting invalid syntax error message:
You may have entered an operand without an operator


Post the SQL, because it worked on my machine.

I can't post the SQL because after I copied and pasted the line you
provided, with a change of Date name, I continually get the invalid
syntax error message and Access won't let me change to the SQL window.

This is thew line I have in Design View in the OutOfDate field:

OutOfDate:iif(
NextTestDateDate(),"OverDue",iif((NextTestDate-Date()7),"Due Soon","OK")

Thanks

Using this part of the line:

OutOfDate: IIf([NextTestDate]Date(),"OverDue") I added the closing
bracket here

the query runs ok with no error messages

SQL:
SELECT tblTools.ToolTypeID, tblTools.Manufacturer, tblTools.Product,
tblTools.Size, tblTools.[Lenght Size], tblTools.SWL, tblTools.Drive,
tblTools.Range, tblTools.Increment, tblTools.ManufSerialNo,
tblTools.SerialNo, tblTools.AssetNo, tblTools.MPSENo,

FROM tblToolType INNER JOIN tblTools ON tblToolType.ToolTypeID =
tblTools.ToolTypeID
WHERE (((tblTools.ToolTypeID)=[Forms]![Tools]![cboSelectToolType])) OR
((([Forms]![Tools]![cboSelectToolType])=0 Or
([Forms]![Tools]![cboSelectToolType]) Is Null));


But if I add the following, and removing the closing bracket I added

,iif((myDate-date()7),"Due Soon","OK")

I get continual syntax error messages, and Access 2007 won't let me do
anything else.

Thanks, that works ok now for me.
Now I just need to have something that will differentiate between items
which have an Overdue test date, because there is a next test date in
the field, and those items where the test date field is blank. Presently
in the OutOfDate column, those items are being given an OK status.
Removing the OK from the line, leaves that status as blank.

Thanks for your help

I have been trying the Nz function like this : Nz([NextTestDate],Date())
but Access 2007 keeps telling me that there is missing closing
parenthesis or vertical bar, but when I add the vertical bar, it is invalid.

Thanks

Update,
ok, I think I have what I want now, as I have been playing around with
different things etc, and have this:
OutOfDate:
IIf([NextTestDateDate(),"OverDue",IIf(([NextTestDate]-Date()7),"Due
Soon",Nz([NextTestDate],"No Test Date")))

So where there is a blank field for the NTD the Nz function says No Test
Date.
Where the Test date is passed, then Overdue
But when Test Date is current or in the future, then that Test Date is
entered into the adjacent field.

Does it matter what order the SQL is in, ie should Nz be first, or is it
ok where it is.

Thanks again for you assistance.

Order is important only when cases overlap such as your first and
second cases, with the nz(), if the results meet your needs, it's where
it shoould be.
