All,

I have the following:

If .IsDBNull(4) Then
	mStrFirstName = ""
Else
	mStrFirstName = .GetString(4)
End If

but I would like to use:

mStrFirstName = IIf(.IsDBNull(4), "", .GetString(4))


Unfortunately I get the message:

Option Strict On disallows implicit conversion from "System.Object" to "String"

How can I change the IIF to allow the command?

TIA

Rex
