Using a IFF statement I have the following: IIf(IsNull([Forms]![frmTestAnswers]![City])," Like *",([Forms]![frmTestAnswers]![City])).

Zone: Microsoft Access Database
Tags: Microsoft, Access 2007, 2007, IFF Statement
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![frmTestAnswers]![City])," Like *",([Forms]![frmTestAnswers]![City])) is in the Criteria of the Query.  I'm trying to return ALL records in the City field if it's left blank on the form.  If there is a city selected on the form it returns those records.  I'm having problems with the blank in the City field.  If I sub an actual city for the blank, such as Tulsa, it will return those records.  It's when the field is blank and what the syntax of the expression should be.  Have tried several variations with no success.

Thanks in advance.

The field may not be null, but an empty string. Try replacing your IsNull test with ([Forms]![frmTestAnswers]![City]) = ""
