RE: [MS_AccessPros] Missing First Names

Thanks Again Duane,

The column [convenorGenderMale] has values. Ticked box and box only.

I have edited your test code to:

Gender: IIf([convenorGenderMale],"M","F")

and M and F appear in the appropriate record.

I then changed my code to:

Convenor: IIf([Gender]="M",[mFirstName],[fFirstName])

and still no names!

Regards,

Robin
