The expression you entered is too complex

Penny Meholick

Is there a way to do a lookup for this, rather than the complex expression
I've written? It used to work fine, until I added one more Iif to it.

PO Box 447, DuBois, PA 15801.",IIf([ClinicCode]="FOR","DuBois Regional

Penny,
It may be that you have reached the limit of levels for an IIF statement. If
so you might take a look at the Switch function. It's a little easier to
construct and read. It's syntax is like this:

SWITCH([ClinicCode]="DUB","DuBois Regional Medical Center, PCA Medical Arts,
PO Box 447, DuBois, PA 15801.",[ClinicCode]="FOR","DuBois Regional
Medical Center, PCA Force, PO Box 143, Force, PA
15841",....)

Another possibility is that it looks like you left out the ELSE part of the
inner most IIF statement.

It seems SWITCH will only allow 7 choices.

And I'm at the limit of the IIF statement, also.

Now, I'm at a loss as to how I will handle one more choice here.

In that CASE (pun intended) you will probably need to write a CASE statement
in a function to return the value that you need.
