Jim, thank you! CID_CV: IIf(CStr([CID]) ="00",[SiteID],[CID]) works great!
Another happy mso/freelist camper!

Try this:
CID_CV: IIf([CID] Like "????00*",[SiteID],[CID])
Now, that assumes that the CID field contains at least 6 characters. If I
understand you right, though, your CID field may actually be a calculated
field showing only the 5th and 6th characters of your original 10-11 digit
field. If *that's* the case, the following should work:
CID_CV: IIf([CID] = "00",[SiteID],[CID])
If not, I'm not sure, unless Access is trying to compare against a
numerical
value. If that's happening, you can coerce the CID value into a string:
CID_CV: IIf(CStr([CID]) ="00",[SiteID],[CID])
Let me/us know...

I'm trying to convert a 2 character field based on a value. My query picks
off positions 5 and 6 of a 10-11 character alpha/numeric string. Sometimes
the 2 digits are 00, though I'm not sure access is reading them as zero,
since it is alpha/numeric mix and some results are 00, some are
combinations of letters. I'm trying to convert this 2 character result to
always use the CID field unless it contains 00, then use the SiteID field.
Here is my formula:
CID_CV: IIf(([CID])="*0*",[SiteID],[CID])
It is not changing the value to SiteID, it is staying 00. Where am I going
wrong? Thank you, Cathy
