I agree with Bret and George. Also, to make one small addition to the readibility issue, CASE structures are alot easier to read and debug than nested IIF() statements. I spent half a day one time changing IIF() statements, some nested 5 to 6 levels, to CASE structures in a program I inherited. The readibility of the code is a million times better and there was no visible difference in performance.
