Coding for IIf Statement

[Guest]

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this statement?

=IIf(DataEntryFrm![Waive10%]=True,ItemSubFrm.Form![Total$ofItemsRequestedSubfrm].Form![Total
Approved],IIf(DataEntryFrm![Waive10%]=False,ItemSubFrm.Form![Total$ofItemsRequestedSubfrm].Form![Total Granted]))

When I run this I get #Name? in the textbox.

Assuming that the form that contains the textbox with this control source
expression is named DataEntryFrm:

=IIf([Waive10%]=True,ItemSubFrm.Form![Total$ofItemsRequestedSubfrm].Form![Total
Approved],ItemSubFrm.Form![Total$ofItemsRequestedSubfrm].Form![Total
Granted])

The #Name error means that one/or more of the controls you're referring
to, can not be located.

Avoid using any special characters in yout object names (%, $, etc) Try
Waive10Pct instead.
Also, your IIF statement is incorrect. You don't need a second IIF.
IIF(Condition = True, Value1, Value2)
not
IIF(Condition = True, Value1, IIF statement,Value2)
Value2 is called (without it's own IIF) if Waive10Pct is False.

It also looks as if you're True and False values are incorrectly called,
but we need to know more about how your form/forms are set up.,, in detail.

Actually, I just got it to work with this:

=IIf(Forms!DataEntryFrm![Waive10%]=True,ItemSubFrm.Form![Total$ofItemsRequestedSubfrm].Form![Total
Approved],IIf(Forms!DataEntryFrm![Waive10%]=False,ItemSubFrm.Form![Total$ofItemsRequestedSubfrm].Form![Total Granted]))

Thanks everyone for your help.
