Hi,

I am a Newbie to Outlook Custom Forms and I want to know if it is possible to use a IF AND formula in the validation tab under properties.

What I want to happen is, If the user has selected Bloomberg in the platform field and the Clearing Applicable field is Blank then to throw up a message "Please advise if Clearing is applicable"

I have tried, IF [Platform]="Bloomberg" AND [Clearing Applicable] <> "" and different variations and I have broken it down and tried just using [Clearing Applicable] <> "" which gives me the message but when I tried [Platform]="Bloomberg" nothing worked.

I have searched the internet but haven’t had any luck finding a solution PLEASE HELP.

Appreciative Newbie

Thanks Larry,

Although I still cannot get it to work, will the statement work in the Validation Formula bar?

=IIf([Platform]="Bloomberg",[Clearing Applicable] <> "")

Anything available in Fields and Functions should work.

Do you get any error messages?

The formula format is IIf( expr , truepart , falsepart ) and it looks like you are missing the falsepart. (I'm not sure the true part is right either)

Hi Diane,

What I want to happen is If Bloomberg = yes then the user needs to put a value in client clearing field, if they dont I need the error message to pop up asking the user to add a value and if Bloomberg isnt selected at all then to ignore everything and carry on.

So far I have entered the formula in the properties validation line and then entered the message in the line below. But with the formulas that I have played around with so far I cannot get anything to work. I would really appreciate some further assisance as this is stopping me getting any further on my project.

Kind Regards

OLiver
