No Einar,
I meant it doesn't have one that works like in VFP and C#. It does have one that looks like iif() in that namespace.
In VFP and C# in pseudocode:
if condition
  result = firstOne()
else
  result = secondOne()
endif
In VB however it is like:
result1 = firstOne()
result2 = secondOne()
if condition
  result = result1
else
  result = result2
endif
So it should be classified as n/a for VB. No one would want to use such a thing.
