    Please help with DLookup with string and integer criteria

    Here is my vba code I am struggling with...the red DLookup text is where I get a Runtime error 94: invalid use of null. varAgency is a string and varYear is an integer. There is no data for 2019 in the query to start thus I used If varFishCount = "" Then EndNum =1...

    I think my issue is with the quotes, singles quotes or AND or all of the above in the DLookup string. Any able to tell me where I'm wrong here?


    Dim varYear As Integer
    Dim varAgency As String
    Dim varFishCount As Integer
    Dim EndNum As Integer
    varYear = [Forms]![frmFishObservations2]![txtYear]
    varAgency = [Forms]![frmFishObservations2]![cmbAgency2]
    varFishCount = DLookup("[CountOfFishID]", "qryFishCount", "[AgencyCode] = '" & varAgency & "'" & " And [CollectionYear]=" & varYear)
    If Not (IsNull([DBFishID])) Then Exit Sub
    If varFishCount = "" Then
    EndNum = 1
    ElseIf Not (IsNull(varFishCount)) Then
    EndNum = varFishCount + 1
    End If


    [DBFishID] = varYear & "-" & varAgency & "-" & EndNum
    End Sub

    DLookup returns Null if no match. varFishCount is declared as integer so it cannot hold Null nor empty string. Only Variant type can hold Null.

    varFishCount = Nz(DLookup("CountOfFishID", "qryFishCount", "AgencyCode='" & varAgency & "' AND CollectionYear=" & varYear), 0)

    If varFishCount = 0 Then
