Workflow rule doesn't work as expected

I have creted a workflow rule that is supposed to run only if a text field is not blank. I used the syntax IS NOT EQUAL TO "NULL"

 

However it is running the rule for every edit.   Clearly I'm doing something wrong, but I am not sure what.

Use the below formula in the workfloe evaluation criteria

 

(!ISBLANK(fieldname)) && (!ISNULL(fieldname))

Yes it runs but it always assesses the conditionas true and updates the field whether the criteria field is blank or not :

 

I don't know how to post the rule

 

Criteria is: evaluate every time edit, {significanT action{(a text field) IS NOT EQUAL TO NULL

Action Update field date field to Today().

 

Problem is field updates whether text field is blank or not. i want it to only update if it is not blank
