Hi All,

Maybe simple but my head has gone. whats wrong with this:

Renewalpending: IIf([lastass]>(Now()-913)<(Now()-1095),"yes","no")

It should work as follows: If the date in [lastass] is more than 2.5 years ago BUT less than 3 years ago. then "Yes" or "No"

Can't get my brain working on this pls help

Try this ....

Renewalpending: IIf([lastass]>=Date()-1095,IIf([lastass]<=Date()-913,"Yes","No"),"No")

Are you SURE ( ???? ) that you entered Ricky's example correctly, because IT WORKS !!!! (as you would expect - from Ricky)

Where are you doing this "IiF" statement.

If in a query, then here is the SQL generated from a query using Rickys example code:

SELECT Table1.Lastass, IIf([lastass]>=Date()-1095,IIf([lastass]<=Date()-913,"Yes","No"),"No") AS RenewalPending
FROM Table1;


If you were using it as the ControlSource of a form, then here is how it would/should look like in the form property:

=IIf([lastass]>=Date()-1095,IIf([lastass]<=Date()-913,"Yes","No"),"No")

In BOTH cases, the data type for LastAss was defined as "ShortDate"
