    need help, expression is too complex?

    I tried to add this field to my query but didn't work. I also tried to use switch but the result is the same. I tried using dlookup and created another table for the values but when i run the query, the fields are repeated by the number of fields in the new table!
    can anyone help please!

    Create a Public Function is a Standard Module that will determine and return the value for you and then pass it the [GrossPay].
    Much easier to read and understand and maintain later.

    Or try:

    Code:
    IIf([GrossPay] Between 4000 And 30000,((([GrossPay]-4000)/1000)*12.5)+50,IIf([GrossPay]<4000,0,375))
    Cheers,

    If you create a Standard Module named basFunctions, then any Public Function you put in that module is available to any form or quary. You would invole it in your query with YourFunction([GrossPay]) and have it return the value you want.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
