Is it possible to have an equation in the IS NULL funtion? For example, can
you do this:

IF IS NULL (X - Y) Then ... Else...

Thanks

I'm not quite sure if we're talking about IsNull() (VBA) or IS NULL (SQL),
but the answer is yes, it can be done, with either ...

? isnull(null - 1)
True

SELECT [Order Details].UnitPrice, [Order Details].Quantity,
IIf([unitprice]*[quantity] Is Null,"Null","Not Null") AS Expr1
FROM [Order Details];

Keep in mind that in general expressions will evaluate as Null if any part
of the expression evaluates as Null, so "If IsNull(x - y) Then" is really
just the same thing as "If IsNull(x) Or IsNull(y) Then".
