A couple of SWAGs, not tested:
- in some cases prefacing with "=" can help e.g. try =IIF( EMPTY(fieldA), fieldB, fieldA )
- you might try wrapping it or replacing with EVALUATE( )
Whenever I've found myself trying to do things like this with grids, I've taken it as a cue to generate cursor(s) on the fly and use them as the grid .RecordSource instead.
