#ERROR
Hi All
I'm getting the #ERROR from the iif statement below Control Source: =IIf([test_typ]="IMPA",IIf(Trim([shape])0,[shape]," ")," ") [shape] is a four character string value from the database. It's attributes are a "text field" wtih a name of "Text133" Database attributes a Field Size: 4 Required: No Allow Zero Length: Yes Indexed: No Unicode Compression: No IME Mode: No Control IME Sentance Mode: None If the field happens to be empty then the IIf false condition is returned and a blank space is displayed. The only time the error is displayed is when the [shape] variable is called. Bill

Perhaps the following will work for you.

#ERROR
:-(
no joy. It's really got me baffled. if I remove everything and just leave [shape] in this "Control Source" field then the 4 character contents is displayed. The minute I try to run any kind of condition on it I get errors. Bill "John Spencer" wrote in message ... Perhaps the following will work for you.

#ERROR
Make sure the name of the control is not the name of a field in your record
source. Then maybe try a control source of: =IIf([test_typ]="IMPA" AND Len(Trim([shape] & ""))0,[shape]," ") -- Duane Hookom Microsoft Access MVP "Bill B" wrote: :-( no joy.
