MORE INFORMATION

You can use one of the following functions to evaluate an object in Microsoft Access:


   - IsNull - Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether an expression
              contains no valid data (Null).

   - IsEmpty - Returns a Boolean value indicating whether a variable has
               been initialized.

   - IsMissing - Returns a Boolean value indicating whether an optional
                 Variant argument has been passed to a procedure.

   - IsBroken -  The IsBroken property returns a Boolean value indicating
                 whether a Reference object points to a valid reference in
                 the Windows Registry.

SUMMARY

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

The Microsoft Access 97 "IsObject Function" Help Topic contains the following sentence:


   You can use the IsNothing function to determine if an object
   reference has been set to Nothing.

This is incorrect. There is no IsNothing function in Microsoft Access.
