Access 2000 functions question
Is it possible to use IF-ELSE statements in M.S. Access 2000????

If so can you leave some examples......

I have some ideas I want to apply using if statements and I need to know if it is possible to do so.

Where are you trying to use this syntax? In the query or in a module?

MS Access does not have a procedural language.

yes, it does -- modules (or is it macros? i dunno, cause i don't use either)

but the sql for access includes the IIF function, which might accomplish what you're trying to do, gothrog

wish i could help you more, but you didn't say what that was...

Okay. MS Access does have modules. But the question was could he write the ifs in the query like PL/SQL or T-SQL. Access does not provide such a feature.

yup.. the iif( ) function works very well as an if else statement and I have used it a lot for my queries on statistical analysis (thanks rudy )

this is how it works

iif (condition, true, false)
iif(fieldName>5.11, tall person, short person)
or
iif(fieldName>0, fieldName, 0)

hope that helps..
