Can you modify the query's SQL to try something like this ?

... AND (NZ(WorkPacks.ConfigData)=IIf([Forms]![Main Form]![chkConfigNote]=True,[ConfigData],NZ([ConfigData]))) AND...

I thought the second apostrophe was the “Else”. IIF(statement, do this if its true, do this if its false (Else))
Maybe I should restate the question; IIF(chkbox=true,show only memo fields with text, else show all memo fields) What I have so far will filter the memo fields with text but will not show all if unchecked
IIf([Forms]![Main Form]![chkConfigNote]=True,[WorkPacks].[ConfigData],Not sure what to put here to show all) “*” didnt work

Thanks again.

Below is the SQL that the query wizard produced.
I have 18 fields and I’m filtering most of them with a checkbox against a “yes/no” field so those are working. But one db field is a memo type that I am filtering with a form checkbox and that’s where I’m having the problem.

The >”" isn’t working in the statement, however the IIF([forms].[Main Form].[chkConfigData]=True,[WorkPacks].[ConfigData], “*”) works to filter only memo fields with text. The false portion of the statement should show all fields with or without text, but it shows no records at all..

Thanks for your help!

SELECT *
FROM WorkPacks
WHERE (((WorkPacks.Area)=[Forms].[Main Form].[cboFCOArea]) AND ((WorkPacks.WorkPackage)=IIf([Forms]![Main Form]![cboFCOWP]>0,[Forms]![Main Form]![cboFCOWP],[WorkPacks].[WorkPackage])) AND ((WorkPacks.ConfigData)=IIf([Forms]![Main Form]![chkConfigNote]=True,[ConfigData],”*”)) AND ((WorkPacks.Started)=[Forms].[Main Form].[chkStart]) AND ((WorkPacks.Configured)=[Forms].[Main Form].[chkConfig]) AND ((WorkPacks.QA)=[Forms].[Main Form].[chkQA]) AND ((WorkPacks.FCODocBuilt)=[Forms].[Main Form].[chkDocBuilt]) AND ((WorkPacks.Screenshot)=[Forms].[Main Form].[chkScreenshot]) AND ((WorkPacks.LoadedEPKS)=[Forms].[Main Form].[chkLoaded]) AND ((WorkPacks.SlopeReceipt)=[Forms].[Main Form].[chkReceipt]) AND ((WorkPacks.SlopeFCOStart)=[Forms].[Main Form].[chkFCOStart]) AND ((WorkPacks.SlopeFCOComplete)=[Forms].[Main Form].[chkSlopeFCOComplete]) AND ((WorkPacks.HMITest)=[Forms].[Main Form].[cboHMITest]))
ORDER BY WorkPacks.DisplayName;

Could you please post the SQL of your query, to see where you are using that code ?

I think you could use the NZ or LEN functions, but we would need to see the complete query to make a suggestion.
