Syntax for IIF statement in report writer

2005-12-06 Thread Claremont, Timothy
I am using the CF report builder and having a tough time with a
conditional statement.

What I want to achieve is a field on the report that says either C or
FFS

What I want this to say is... If #query.capdate is before January 1,
1900, show FFS, otherwise show C

How do I make this work on the field in the report writer? I have tried
four billion things and keep getting an error saying that C is not a
valid variable name!

Due to the double evaluation nature of IIF, you have to double escape text 
results in IIF. For example:
IIF(1 eq 1, 'one', 'not one')
What you see there is single quotes around double quotes. This can also be 
done with the DE() function, but that's a waste in my mind.
