If Statement w/ And and Msgbox Nested
I am getting a syntax error on this code. The code is intended to check that
the user entered data into the Remarks field if they also selected the text that goes with the ID # 2 in cbFOLConsistent. ID (AutoNumber,pk) is the bound control in my cbo but it displays text. I want the Msgbox to display Yes/No buttons and on Yes set focus to Remarks so that the user is forced to make their explanation. In the No case, I want the focus set to Me.Parent!cbFOLConsistent so that the user can change their selection. I actually had a lot more text in my msgbox but since I was having trouble, trimmed it to narrow down my mistake so I understand that the box doesn't make sense as it is. Here's my code: If Len(Me.Remarks & vbNullString) And Me.Parent!cbFOLConsistent = "2" Then If MsgBox("If the Facts of Loss are not consistent with the damage,") = vbYes Then Me.Remarks.SetFocus Else Me.Parent!cbFOLConsistent.Undo Response = acDataErrContinue End If End If Thanks for your help!

If Statement w/ And and Msgbox Nested
Hi Jeff,
I think my code for the MsgBox isn't the problem but rather the If statement. I don't get an error, but no matter how I meet the criteria, I don't get the intended message box to open which makes me think that somehow my double criteria (If w/ AND) is the problem. Any ideas??

If Statement w/ And and Msgbox Nested
Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I just try to copy code and mix it
in where and how I think I need it but I can't say I necessarily really understand how it all works and what it all means. Any suggestions on how to write the first line so that if Remarks is empty/null (is blank) AND FOLConsistent is 2 that the msgbox then opens?? It makes sense that it isn't working based on your synopsis of the first line. Thanks so much!

Be careful if your tables allow a null string "" in the remarks field
