Well if you want to try it out then try using nested evaluate(de(''))
You can also achieve same using nested quotes like de("'stuff'") to avoid
evaluation,
But it just gets messy imho
Iif() has its uses for simple inline evaluations, such as select lists or
dynamic style classes but beyond that I think it just makes for better code
not to do it inline.On Wed, Feb 4, 2015 at 0:21 AM, Mosh Teitelbaum <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks Russ (and Dave). That's the route I ended up going to.
