Russ,
Seeing as no one has actually answered your question as to why your IIF
isn't working, here's the reason.
You say that if qryCustomer.allareas is FALSE then and only then you get
qryAreas. This is the reason for your IIF not working.
When IIF is interpreted by the CF Server all

No humor at all.
I agree there are bad practices...
(evaluate,cflocation, variable prefixes, spaghetti code and some others)
but i dont think you should include IIF in them...
Well, I've been dealing with
like it and and the
performance from your method is the best it can be, use it. So.
My 2 cents.

IIF has its place. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I
thought I read on this list weeks ago that with MX, IIF was
just as fast as CFIF.
I don't think that's possible, although I could be wrong.
When you use IIf or Evaluate, you're evaluating a string as if it were an
expression. I

I think Michael Dinowitz stated it if I recall correctly. I am not 100% sure.

qryCustomer.allareas should be a 0 or any number other than 0 which is
True
your statment should look like below.. u dont need DE
#IIF(qryCustomer.allareas, 'All Areas' , '#ValueList(qryAreas.name,',')#'
)#
Which means if qryCustomer.allareas !=0 ...display ALL Areas
else
Display qryAreas.name

Havent tested it but it should work...
The downside of using an IIF() against an if() statement is that the
true and false sections are always evaluated... Whereas a normal if
statement if its true the false is

Doesn't work either.
Parameter 1 of function ValueList which is now qryAreas.name must be

is not defined and qryCustomer.allareas is true:

That's the whole point, Joe... I have the following code above it

cfif inside other cf tags... (Maybe in mx you can).

Iif is necessary in certain cases.
I can't think of a single case in which it's necessary. It's just another
way to perform conditional logic. If you have one way to perform conditional
logic, you can do anything you need, although it might be clumsier in some
situations than an alternative
IIF is never necessary.

You can always restructure such code to not need 'iif()'.

I'm using iif, and running into some weird things. Well first of all I'm
