Thanks for the video Richard! It's always fun to see how the "legos" can be put together to build a function!

Hi Richard<
Thanks for the excellent video. I found an issue with this EOMONTH that I hope you will be able to provide an answer to. I created the EOMONTH function by following your instructions and it works perfectly - Thank You. However, when I use it in a form, then use it again in a Report, any fields that do not have a date (so basically Null values) have the text #Type! displaying and I have tried everything I can think of (conditional formatting etc.) but I cannot get rid of it. Please can you help as the Reports look horrible with this #Type! in every blank field!

I would try something like IIf IsNot Null (me.[Field]) Then EOMONTH Else (me.[Field]) End If.
