Hi,

I need help with the following question.

I got the following error when loading up a form:

IIf(Not IsNull([SubJobName]) Or [SubJobName]<>"",[SubJobName],[JobName]) AS Expr1, [SubJobs].Status

Can you have IIF statement in the query expression? because it said "Syntax
error in string in the above query expression".

The full codes i have in the form load is
Private Sub Form_Load()
strSQL = "SELECT [Jobs].JobID, [SubJobs].IndustryNo, [SubJobs].ClientNo, [SubJobs].JobNo, [SubJobs].SubJobNo, IIf(Not IsNull([SubJobName]) Or [SubJobName]<>"",[SubJobName],[JobName]) AS Expr1, [SubJobs].Status"
strSQL = strSQL & " FROM [SubJobs] INNER JOIN [Jobs] ON ([SubJobs].JobNo = [Jobs].JobNo) AND ([SubJobs].ClientNo = [Jobs].ClientNo) AND ([SubJobs].IndustryNo = [Jobs].IndustryNo)"
strSQL = strSQL & " WHERE ((([SubJobs].Status) = -1))"

Me!ListBox_Jobs.RowSource = strSQL

End Sub


Thank you in advance

You can, but the double quotes are messing with the string being built in VBA. Try changing those to single quotes. I'd just use an Nz, like:

IIf(Nz([SubJobName], '') <> '',...
