Select SQL showing a syntax error (as below) while using "IIf" in the SQL. Whats the wrong?

"Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'IIf(opening < 0, opening As Receipt, 0 As Receipt)'."

opening is a numeric (double) field.

What I have tried:

"Select accode As SL, achead As Particulars, IIf(opening < 0, opening As Receipt, 0 As Receipt), IIf(opening > 0, opening As Payment, 0 As Payment) From accounts Order By achead"

I would try to replace

SQL

IIf(opening < 0, opening As Receipt, 0 As Receipt)

with

SQL

IIf(opening < 0, opening, 0) As Receipt
