Nested IF Problem

Ihave this NestedIF statement that doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone
know why?
Thanks

Private Sub Command67_Click()
If Me.Pat > 0 Then
Forms!OveringHidden!Text7 = CCur(Me.Pat)
DoCmd.Close acForm, "OveringAmount"
Forms!OveringHidden.Visible = True
If Forms!OveringHidden!Text7 > Forms!OveringHidden!Text4 Then
DoCmd.Open "OveringTooMuch"
Else:
Forms!OveringHidden.Visibe=True
End If
Else: IsNull (Me.Pat)
Forms!OveringAmount.Visible = False
DoCmd.OpenForm "NoOveringAmount"
End If
End Sub

Forms!OveringHidden!Text7 = CCur(Me.Pat)
DoCmd.Close acForm, "OveringAmount"
Forms!OveringHidden.Visible = True
If Forms!OveringHidden!Text7 > Forms!OveringHidden!Text4 Then
DoCmd.Open "OveringTooMuch"

Forms!OveringAmount.Visible = False
DoCmd.OpenForm "NoOveringAmount"

Your use of colons after your Else keywords is undesirable, and your
lack of indentation confuses the matter. If you reformat your code like
this ...

If Me.Pat > 0 Then
Forms!OveringHidden!Text7 = CCur(Me.Pat)
DoCmd.Close acForm, "OveringAmount"
Forms!OveringHidden.Visible = True
If Forms!OveringHidden!Text7 > Forms!OveringHidden!Text4 Then
DoCmd.Open "OveringTooMuch"
Else
Forms!OveringHidden.Visibe=True
End If
Else
IsNull (Me.Pat)
Forms!OveringAmount.Visible = False
DoCmd.OpenForm "NoOveringAmount"
End If

.... it becomes clear that this line

IsNull (Me.Pat)

doesn't really make any sense. Did you want that to be another "If"
condition, or an "ElseIf" condition, like this:

ElseIf IsNull (Me.Pat) Then
Forms!OveringAmount.Visible = False
DoCmd.OpenForm "NoOveringAmount"
End If

? Or did you have something else in mind?
