IIf (DLookUp("[MaxBlisters]","[tblProductSpecs]","[product]='" & [Data
]!Product & "'") <> and ([Blisters2])= Null) , True , False

Ok, first question is, can I put a formula like this in a query that runs a
report. Second question is, does anyone see anything obviously wrong with
it? Error says wrong number of arguments. Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
You can put formulas into queries.
Your expression has bad syntax.

Can you tell us what you want in English
I think you may want something like the following, But I can't really tell
from what you have posted.

IIF(DLookup("MaxBlisters","tblProductSpecs","Product ='" & [Data].[Product]
& "' ") is null or Blisters2 is Null, True, False)
 
I need to run a report that shows if any fields from my form are left blank.
However, some "products" do not require certain fields (blisters2). If the
tblProductSpecs does not list a spec (MaxBlisters) for the product chosen
(Product field) and the field (Blisters2) is left blank, then I do not want
it to show on the report.
Thanks so much!

DLookUp("[MaxBlisters]","[tblProductSpecs]","[Product] ='" & [Data].[Product]
& "' ") Is Not Null And [blisters2] Is Null
Thanks so much for your help. This worked great for me! Guess I was making
it too hard. Just used what you gave me and modified it a little and removed
the iif statement.
