Bad Syntax in built expression

[Divine Mrs. M]

This is information needed:
If Qual=A, an dif (Transaction Amount/100) is less than highest CEM then
“Eligibleâ€
If Qual=L, and if Transaction Amout is less Qualifier, then “Eligibleâ€
If Qual=M, and if Transaction Amount is less Qualifier, then “Eligibleâ€
If Qual=N, and if (Transaction Amount/100) is less than highet CEM then
“Eligibleâ€

Query Sample:

Expr2: IIf([Immed Credit]![Qual Code]="A" Or "N" And [Immed Credit]![Total
Tran Amt]/100<[Immed Credit]![Cust 1 CEM] or [Immed Credit]![Cust 2 CEM] or
[Immed Credit]![Cust 3 CEM] or [Immed Credit]![Cust 4 CEM] or [Immed
Credit]![Cust 5 CEM] then "Eligible","yes")

* IIf() requires 3 arguments and your expression has 2.

* You cannot use:

[Immed Credit]![Qual Code]="A" Or "N"

You need to use:

([Immed Credit]![Qual Code]="A") Or
([Immed Credit]![Qual Code]="N")

* You have an huge Boolean expression combining And and Or without using
brackets to indicate the correct order of operation. Most likely, Access
will interpret this incorrectly.

Check Access Help on IIf() function.

* IIf() requires 3 arguments and your expression has 2.

* You cannot use:

[Immed Credit]![Qual Code]="A" Or "N"

You need to use:

([Immed Credit]![Qual Code]="A") Or
([Immed Credit]![Qual Code]="N")

Would this work:

[Immed Credit]![Qual Code] IN ('A', 'N')

 

[Van T. Dinh]

IN should be OK ...

I tend to use or if there are only 2 items and use IN for more than 2 as Or
is a bit clearer (in my mind, anyway).
