How do you calculate a null date?

[Rose]

I am getting to many arguments when I try to input your information. Could
you try it again. I included an example below. Thank You.

Currently I have a query that states Nights:[CheckOutDate]-[CheckInDate].
The problem is if there is no checkout date yet, how can I get it to run
either today or by date input.


Check In Date Check Out Date Nights
09/01/2006 09/05/2006 4
09/10/2006 09/11/2006 1
09/12/2006

It isn't clear what you want for the calculation if the CheckOutDate is
null. You can use the Nz() function like:

Nights: Nz(CheckOutDate,Date()) - CheckInDate

Thank You, Thats what I was looking for. Is there a way to also input a date
you want it to calculate the null field by. For example, if 09/30/2006.
