null text box
hi,
I am having a little problem with a text box on a form. I don't seem to know the correct syntax. the text box may or may not have something in it. the code runs, does a lot of things but if the text box is empty then the code is suppose to skip over part of the code. if the text box has a number in it, then the code should run the code associated with the text box. in access the syntax would be: if not (isnull(me.textbox) then run this code and loop until lt.value = text box.value end if with this if statement, if the text box is empty then the code would be skipped. if there is a number in the text box, the code would run. but in excel that don't seem to work. the code associated with the text box runs whether the text box is empty or not. this is causing a overflow problem due to endless run away calculations leading to crash and burn. Does anyone know what the correct syntax would be. thanks in advance. FSt1 |

null text box
A textbox doesn't return null
if len(trim(textbox1.Text)) = 0 then ' textbox is empty or if Textbox1.Text = "" then but the second would consider a textbox with just spaces as not empty (which may or may not be your intent). -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "FSt1" wrote in message ... hi, I am having a little problem with a text box on a form.

Hi FSt1
You are missing a ) if not (isnull(me.textbox) then run this code and loop until lt.value = text box.value end if if not (isnull(me.textbox)) then run this code and loop until lt.value = text box.value end if Thanks, Greg -----Original Message----- hi, I am having a little problem with a text box on a form.
