Stephen, So I may be missing the point, but what is it exactly that your complaining about? The fact that most MVP's don't know what their talking about, that you don't know Access, or that the database is not properly designed?
Jim. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Russell Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 11:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [NF] Access and the Null Blues Ok, if you NZ() you can shove a value in for the null in access. Took 5 different MVPs before the sixth came in with that little trick. I did it in the report via: =IIf(Len(Trim([Trouser 1] & ""))>0,1,0)+IIf(Len(Trim([Trouser 2] & ""))>0,1,0)+IIf(Len(Trim([Trouser 3] & ""))>0,1,0)+IIf(Len(Trim([Trouser 4] & ""))>0,1,0) So you can see that I was forcing the freaking "" in there.
