Lookup a field to see whether or not it is null or has a value
Hi all.
I currently have the following line of code to see if number entered is a valid one in my MasterCellDevices table:
If DCount("connection", "MasterCellDevices", "[connection]='" & Me.txt_InvConnectionPhone & "'") > 0 Then
If it is a valid number I want to check to see if there is anything in the MasterCellDevices.ID field. If there is, I want a msgbox to pop up saying that it is already assigned to a different location. If it is null or empty I want it to update the field with the current ID.
I am struggling on how to figure out whether or not that field is empty or not.
Sorry if I didn't explain it enough, but I am new to coding and looking for help.
Thank you for your time and help.

Sorry, I should have posted more code.
The rsMasterCellList is where I am trying to grab the KioskID field from the MasterCellDevices table. When I run it, I get an error saying Object required. Which I'm assuming means that rsMasterCellList isn't returning a value.
Thanks for your help.
If DCount("connection", "MasterCellDevices", "[connection]='" & Me.txt_InvConnectionPhone & "'") > 0 Then
Set rsMasterCellList = ("SELECT MasterCellDevices.[KioskID] FROM MasterCellDevices WHERE MasterCellDevices.[connection] = " & Me.txt_InvConnectionPhone & "")
If Not IsNull(rsMasterCellList) Then
DupConnection = MsgBox("This number is already assigned to a kiosk.") 'Display if cell number is in KioskCellInstall
Else
rsKioskCellInstall.Edit
rsKioskCellInstall!WanConnection = "AT&T CP"
rsKioskCellInstall!phonenumber = Phone
rsKioskCellInstall.Update
Me.txt_ConnectionType = rsKioskCellInstall!WanConnection
Me.txt_ConnectionPhone = rsKioskCellInstall!phonenumber
End If
Else
WanConnection = MsgBox("Phone number does not exist in Master Cell Devices. Please double check the number.")
Me.cmd_UpdateCell.SetFocus
End If

And what is rsKioskCellInstall and where is it set?

This is the highlighted line:

Yes it should be...
I changed it but now I get the following error:
Data type mismatch in criteria expression

It is a text field in the table.
Glad that helped.
