Glenda,
Ray's got the answer for you. Just remember though that a zero length
string is not the same as a null if you do any searching on it later.

Yes, this is pretty straightforward. Your formula for C1 is:
=IF (B1<A1,2377,"")
Note that I've put 2377 there because it's not immediately clear where
this number is coming from. It could be replaced in the formula by a
cell reference or some sort of calculation. Also note that at the end we
have two sets of double quotes with nothing in between.
For formula D1, you need:
=YEAR (B1)
Or, you could just format the cell to hold the full date (=B1) but to
only show the year element. If you want to do that, make the formula:
=B1
and apply a custom format, like this: from the Format menu, select
Cells, go to the Number tab and select 'custom'. In the box on the right
enter:
yyyy
Done!

Subject: [mso] Access Date Comparisons & Formatting
Hi.
This may not be as complex as I'm thinking it is. I need to compare the
date in fields A and B. If field B date is less than the value in field
A then I need to display a numeric value in field C. If field B date is
greater than the value in field A then field C displays nothing. Also,
I need to format the value of field B in Field D as year. Fields A, B
and C can be in the same table.
A B C
