[mso] Re: Access 2002: Date Filter Formula Calculation Help Needed!

Cathy--

Maybe the blank cells aren't really null? How about:

YRConvert:IIf(([year] Is Null) Or (Trim([year]) & "" = ""),Now(),[year])

Thanks Jim . . . got 'invalid use of null', so I set up a new field to
convert any nulls to current year, but still getting all 'Yes' on the
original dates and 'No' on the converted nulls.  Alien (#!%#!*) table is a
good word and it sounds like your guess is 100% on target!!

My conversion field is: YRConvert:IIf([year] Is Null,Now(),[year]).  Am I
missing something here?

Thanks again, Cathy

Cathy--

My gusee would be that the dates from the alien table probably aren't stored
as dates. You can try coercing the data into a date first using the Cdate
function:

DataFilter: IIf(DateDiff('yyyy', CDate([Year]), Now()) > 2, "Yes", "No")

Please let me know.
