Hello,

I am having trouble with a query. I have a number of blanks for a field and I tried using the expression from the help:

=IIf(IsNull([fieldname]),"Unknown",Format([fieldname],"@;\ZLS"))

But my result set is still a lot of blanks.

This is the expression I was trying to use:

IIf(IsNull([tblMainpersondata]![MailingAddrLine2]),[tblMainpersondata]![MailingAddrLine1],[tblMainpersondata]![MailingAddrLine2])

On most of these, the result was a blank, instead of MailingAddrLine1. If there was visible data for MailingAddrLine2, it appeared.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Try:

IIf(nz(FieldName,"")="",truepart,falsepart)
