>I have a problem with my nested immediate if statement. The problem is if a materialid equals VX5 it is given it the value of qty2 when it should be given the number 1. It is VX50 or VX57 that have to be an exact match to receive the value of qty2. The same is true for the rest of them.

The problem is ALLTRIM() the string "VX5" occurs in the strings "VX57,VX50" and in the string "VX51" as well. You need to rethink things a bit to not use a substring and IIF(), perhaps using INLIST() rather than the $ operator, or better might be an inner join with a separate table that matched materialid and the correct field prior to the actual query...
