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 "Jim Pettit" <jimpettit@xxxxxxxx To: <mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> m> Sent by: cc: mso-bounce@freelist s.org Subject: [mso] Re: Access 2002: Date Filter Formula Calculation 08/17/2005 11:30 AM Help Needed! Please respond to mso ..... 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. --Jim ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain proprietary, business-confidential and/or privileged material.
