Newie Question (or am I nuts)

[Ivan Grozney]

Try

If ISNULL(fmIntroDate) then
fmIntroDate = date()
end if

Remember that VB can be a little different than VBA!

I am a long time C user (20+ years), but only recently to VB.

I have some code in Access:

if fmIntroDate = Null Then
fmIntroDate = Date
End If
fmIntroDate is formatted as Date.

In the debugger, the middle line is skipped, even though

it shows that fmIntroDate IS Null. I have also
used .Value and .Text after fmIntroDate, with no errors,
but same results.

I have also used IntroDate (which the control fmIntroDate

is bound to), same different ways, same results.

Does VB hate me because of all my years in C/C++/VC++ or

is there something wrong with my code?
