I have a query field that uses DateDiff("d",[dtmDateShipped],[dtmDatePaid])
to calculate the difference between a ship date and paid date. I also have
<=50 in the criteria row to restrict payments to 50 days or less.



I need to change the criteria to <=80 for a couple customers. I've tried
using IIf([tblCustomerUS.strCustomerId] In ("LE4212","AM0303"),<=80,<=50) in
the criteria row as a sub query, but I get no results at all. Any
suggestions on how to set this up correctly?

Thanks

Try:


<= IIf([tblCustomerUS.strCustomerId] In ("LE4212","AM0303"),80,50)


since the goal of iif is about returning a constant, not about returning a "
part of " a test.

This is a report for sales commissions. I do have a field that has payment
terms in it. 99% of our customers have 30 day terms or less, a couple have
terms of 60 days. I'm calculating the difference between the date product
shipped (dtmDateShipped) and the date the invoice is paid (dtmPaidDate) plus
20 days. If the time difference is 50 days or less, it shows up on the
commission statement; if it's over, it doesn't. But I needed a way to take
into account the longer terms of a couple customers. How would I do that
with the date field instead of the way I'm doing it now?
Thanks

Thanks.
