Yes. Here is a shortened example:

SELECT MyTable.Member_Name, MyTable.Street, MyTable.HouseNrAddition
FROM MyTable
WHERE (((MyTable.Straat)=[forms]![MyForm].[Street]) AND
((MyTable.HousNr)=[forms]![MyForm].[HouseNrAddition]));

In a record of MyTable for instance, Street has value MyStreet and
HouseNrAddition has value Null. If the corresponding form fields have
similar values, there is no match. I tried several iif's but can't get it to
work. It does work when HouseNrAddition field on the form is not null.

Thanks, Lars
