To use an IIf function to prevent a division by zero error, you need to test
the term which is the divisor, not the dividend. So, for example, your
first expression needs to be something like:
PercentMoney: IIf([Legal]=0,0,[LegalCorrect]/[Legal])
or maybe, depending on exactly what you're trying to achieve:
PercentMoney: IIf([Legal]=0,[LegalCorrect],[LegalCorrect]/[Legal])
or maybe something else - I don't understand exactly what you're trying to
accomplish here.
HTH,

BTW: the term NZ([PercentMoney]=0) in your expression for PctGain seems
strange; it will return 0 for every value of PercentMoney except Null, and
will return Null if PercentMoney is Null. Perhaps you want
nz([PercentMoney],0), which will return the actual value of PercentMoney
except when it is null, in which case it will return 0.
