string output needed

[David]

Hi,
Using XL2K, I have a Worksheet_Change event that accepts user input for 1
or 2 check amts. The user is then prompted for store name(s), Payee1 and
*maybe* Payee2 via either 1 or 2 userforms. I need Payee1 and *maybe*
Payee2 placed as a single line to the right of the check amt(s).
Currently I use the following:

Target.Offset(0, 1) = Payee1 + " " + Payee2

This way if there is only 1 payee, Payee2 won't appear. That's what I want,
except instead of using spaces, I want Payee1 and Payee2 (if there is one)
separated by a '/'. If there is only 1 payee, I don't want the '/' to
appear.

What code will accomplish what I want?

You didn't say how you know Payee2 is valid or not. Assuming that Payee2 =
"" when invalid.
Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = Payee1 & iif(Payee2="", "", "/" + Payee2)

Thanks. You assume correctly. If there is only one payee, the user is never
even prompted for Payee2 in which case Payee2="". After posting, I was able
to stumble/fumble my way to a solution eerily similar to yours:

Target.Offset(0, 1) = iif(Payee2 = "", Payee1, Payee1 + "/" + Payee2)

This after successfully implementing an less elegant If/Then/Else solution,
but I was after a one-liner.
