I don't think that's possible, although I could be wrong.
When you use IIf or Evaluate, you're evaluating a string as if it were an
expression. I s
f you like it and and the
performance from your method is the best it can be, use it. So.
My 2 cents.

The IIf function evaluates string as expressions, as does the Evaluate
function. If you think the Evaluat

You can always restructure such code to not need 'iif()'.

I can't think of a single case in which it's necessary. It's just another
way to perform conditional logic. If you have one way to perform conditional
logic, you can do anything you need, although it might be clumsier in some
situations than an alternative wo

Don't use it. If you used cfif, you wouldn't be having these problems. You'
ve got a boolean test and you set a string value which you then test later
(why not just use the same test or at least use
eas," 'All Areas' "," '#ValueList(qryAreas.name,',
')#' ")#

qryCustomer.allareas should be a "0" or any number other than "0" which

your statment should look like below.. u dont need "DE"

Which means if qryCustomer.allareas !=0 ...display "ALL Areas"

This is good advice, and it will also not throw any errors if attributes.display is
not defined. For example:
IIf( IsDefined("attributes.
