Writing code for finding Null value field

[Raveen1609]

Dears. I have a simple problem, which I couldnt solve. I am a basic Access VBA user.

On click event of the Yes/No field checkedData

If my datefield1 is empty, I want message "ok", else
I want to check, either Datefield2 or Stringfiled must be filled. If both are empty, I must get message "Select" otherwise Message "Ok"
I try the following code, but it is not working. I am making some mistake not sure.

Kindly help.



Private Sub CheckedData_Click()
If Me.Datefiled1 <> "" Then
If ([Datefield2] & "") = "" And (Stringfield & "") = "" Then
MsgBox "Select"

Else

MsgBox "ok"
End If
End If
End Sub

"" is an empty string. It is not Null. You cannot compare anything to Null as it basically means "unknown". So Null cannot be = or < or > than anything and the reverse is true. You can test if something is null though.

If IsNull(Me.Datefiled1) Then <--- it is either true or it is false

Thanks very much.

I have modified the code as below, the False part seems to be working, I am getting "Select" message, whereas the true part is not working. I am not getting "ok" message.


Private Sub CheckedData_Click()
If Me.Datefiled1 <> "" Then
If IsNull(Me.Me.Datefiled2) And IsNull(Me.Stringfield) Then


MsgBox "Select"

Else
MsgBox "ok"


End If
End If
End Sub

You have "ok" and Ok" in your post. I modified Ok to Okay just to show the message false part of
If Datefield2 or Stringfield is not NULL

Try this

Private Sub CheckedData_Click()
If Me.Datefiled1 <> "" Then
        If IsNull(Me.Me.Datefiled2) And IsNull(Me.Stringfield) Then
          MsgBox "Select"  ' Datefiled2 and Stringfield are both NULL
        Else
          MsgBox "Okay"    ' Datefield2 or Stringfiled is not NULL
        End If
Else 
     MsgBox "ok"           ' Datefiled1 is Empty
End If
End Sub

Hope I've understood your issue/logic.

Shoudn't the first check also look for Not Null instead of <>""?

Private Sub CheckedData_Click()
If Not IsNull(Me.Datefiled10 Then   ' <> "" Then
        If IsNull(Me.Me.Datefiled2) And IsNull(Me.Stringfield) Then
          MsgBox "Select"  ' Datefiled2 and Stringfield are both NULL
        Else
          MsgBox "Okay"    ' Datefield2 or Stringfiled is not NULL
        End If
Else 
     MsgBox "ok"           ' Datefiled1 is Empty
End If
End Sub

Thanks very much. Now the code is working, but!!

I have few moe codes below the Else MsgBox "ok" for the first IF condition is false. I want the same codes to be executed, if the second IF condition is false also. So currently I am copying the same long codes in this location. Is it possible to do it with a single Else statement to execute, if the conditions are false in both If statements

In this case I copied the same codes again below the Else and MsgBox "Okay"

Shoudn't the first check also look for Not Null instead of <>"" yes accept, will change. Thanks
