Question : Error on one line and not on the other

The first line of code works.  I have the second one giving me an error regarding the <.  I am using the same syntax for the PassedDate and the PassedDateEnd.  I don't see why it isn't working.

Thanks in advance!

Code Snippet:

1: 2: 3: 4: 5:

This line works: QueryString = "SELECT EquipmentMasterReadings.Equipment_Number, Max(EquipmentMasterReadings.Reading) AS CurrentMonthEnding, reading_date FROM EquipmentMasterReadings GROUP BY EquipmentMasterReadings.Equipment_Number, reading_date HAVING reading_date >= " & "'" & PassedDate & "'" & " AND reading_Date <= " & "'" & PassedDateEnd & "'" & " ORDER BY EquipmentMasterReadings.Equipment_Number, Max(EquipmentMasterReadings.Reading);" Get Error on following line: "Incorrect syntax near '<'." QueryString = "SELECT LubeTransactions.Equipment_Number, Sum(LubeTransactions.Quantity) AS SumOfQuantity, LubeTransactions.Lube_Type, Sum(IIf([Oil_Change]<>" & "'" & "Yes" & "'" & ",[Quantity],Null)) AS 40wt, Sum(IIf([Oil_Change]=" & "'" & "Yes" & "'" & ",[Quantity],Null)) AS oilchange FROM FuelConsumptionTemp WHERE Transaction_Date >= " & "'" & PassedDate & "'" & " AND Transaction_Date <= " & "'" & PassedDateEnd & "'" & " GROUP BY LubeTransactions.Equipment_Number, LubeTransactions.Lube_Type HAVING LubeTransactions.Lube_Type = " & "'" & "Engine Oil 40WT" & "'" & " ORDER BY LubeTransactions.Equipment_Number;"

TanyaDH,

No, SQL Server does not use IIf().  It uses CASE...WHEN...THEN...END
