it doesnt work due to the documented limitation of If Var Is Type that it only accepts plain variables and doesnt work with expressions.
write urself a type function wrapping If Var Is Type or use one of the numerous ones other people have already posted on the forums or other places on the internet. dig around

this also applies to ur other thread(where the issue is that if var is type cant be used in expressions)

Note: The operators "between", "is", "in", and "contains" are not supported in expressions.
