    Inserting date into another field based on a true condition

    Hi, hoping someone can help with this one..



    I have a form with some fields.

    When one of the fields, which happens to be a combo box, is populated with one of several values I want the following to happen...

    Insert todays date into another field on the record. I'm thinking it should be fairly simple, but my VBA is rusty.

    I have the following, feel free to tell me that what I have is stupid..

    Code:
    Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
    On Error GoTo BeforeUpdate_Err
        ' Set bound controls to system date and time.
        IIf [Status] = "Done by Katie" Or "Done by Tanya", [Process_Complete_Date] = Date
        
      
    BeforeUpdate_End:
        Exit Sub
    BeforeUpdate_Err:
        MsgBox Err.Description, vbCritical & vbOKOnly, _
            "Error Number " & Err.Number & " Occurred"
        Resume BeforeUpdate_End
    
    End Sub
    Thanks for any ideas

    Alternatives, although the multi-line If is most preferred.

    Me.[Process_Complete_Date] = IIf([Status] = "Done by Katie" Or [Status] = "Done by Tanya", Date, Null)

    If Me.[Status] = "Done by Katie" Or Me.[Status] = "Done by Tanya" Then Me.[Process_Complete_Date] = Date
