access thread: Unexplained Error Using IIF


Message #1 by brose@u... on Tue, 31 Jul 2001 17:29:22
I am creating a query that takes calculated values from a few other 

queries and adds them together to then subtract from a total number. There 

were three queries which calculated Non Business Days, Holidays, and Time 

within a certain status. When I put these together the total came out 

fine. However, I needed to add one that calcualted the time if the record 

was currently in a certain status. I got the queries to work and give the 

time for the certain records. However, when I try to add this to the query 

that adds them all together it starts giving errors.



Basically what the query does is left joins some main info to the other 

four queries that calculate the things mentioned above. There are then 

some calculated fields that use IIF and check if there is a record for 

that ticket number within the query. If there is it gives the value from 

the other query otherwise it gives a 0. This works fine for three of the 

queries but on the new one it does something wierd. For records that exist 

in the new query it gives the correct number but instead of giving a 0 for 

the others it says #Error. I can not figure out why it is doing this since 

the query is setup exactly like the other ones and they give me no 

problems. Does anyone know what can be causing this? Thanks for the help 

and I hope this is clear enough.
