Hi all, Well, you helped me yesterday with my tab control background color issue. I've got another one to solve pronto. My client wanted three yes/no checkboxes for each student, labeled IEP-10, IEP-11, and IEP-12 - these were to indicate whether an IEP evaluation had been carried out for the student and in which grade, 10, 11, or 12. At the time, I was assured this was never going to be used for sorting. Riiiiight! So, there are three separate fields in the student table. Now, we need to create a report showing all students for whom the IEP has been carried out, and - you guessed it - sort first on the IEP grade (10, 11, or 12), and then alphabetically by student name. I decided to add a computed field to my query that looks for a "Yes" in any of the three fields, and to give a value to that field based on which IEP field was "Yes" like so: IEP-Sort:Iif([IEP-10]="Yes", 10, Iif([IEP-11] = "Yes", 11, Iif([IEP-12]="Yes", 12, ""))) The idea then, is to sort on the computed field. The query finds the records and fills in all the fields correctly except for my IEP-Sort field - there it gives me the #Error. Okay, I don't know what my error is. Please, how do I figure out my goof and fix it? I will be watching for a reply and trying to think it out at the same time. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Tina
