Hello,

I am doing a bank reconcillation in access I have a field call DIT my
problem is if there is no DIT present I get an #Error message. If there is
a number present it should show the number or if there is no DIT I want to
show a zero in the text box. I don't want to get #Error message showing.
Also, should I do the coding in a query level and what will the coding be
in the query? How do I fix this? Thank you in advance.

Cheers
 
Try setting the Control Source of the text box to an expression like this:
=IIf([Report].[HasData], Nz([DIT],0), 0)

Make sure the Name property of this text box is not the same as any field
name in the report. For example, you can call it txtDIT, but not DIT.
 
Hi Cam,

You can try using the Nz function. The syntax is:

Nz(variant, [valueifnull])

So, the control source for your text box might look like this:

=Nz([DIT], 0)

To learn more about this function, open any code module. Then click on View
Object Browser (or press the F2 key). Enter Nz as your search term. You

should see a listing for Access. Select this, and then click on the button
with the question mark to open context-sensitive Help.
