Date Add Query confusing
PERCENT:
IIf(Now()DateAdd("yyyy",+1,[HPDATE]),"4%",IIf(Now()DateAdd("yyyy",+2,[HpDate]),"5%",Null)) 2PERCENT:IIF(NOW()DATEADD("YYYY"+7, [HPDATE]),"7%",IIF(NOW()DATEADD("YYYY",+15, [HPDATE]),"9%",NULL)) Can anyone please explain to me the difference in these two lines. The first one runs fine, the second tells me it wrong and will not work. I had them combined but it still would not run and kept getting hung on the +7. I cannot see what I have done wrong but I am sure it's something simple. Thanks

I cannot see what I have done wrong but I am sure it's something simple. Thanks The first has a comma between "yyyy" and +1. The second does not have the (required) comma between "YYYY" and +7. Note that you can leave the + off; it's not needed, since +7 and 7 are the same number. Also, Now() is NOT today's date; it's the current date and time accurate to microseconds. You might want to use Date() instead. John W. Vinson[MVP]
