Converting Access Code - FORMAT

Hello,
A colleague passed me this make-table query which works in Access, and we'd
like to automate in SQL. I did some basic debugging but now on parse, SQL
returns that Trim and Format are not recognized function nameS. I think you
can see the what formatting is doing to provide a standard string length.
Could someone advise what I need to do to get this to work in SQL? Any help
would be much appreciated. Thanks, Pancho

I replaced & with +, ! with . on table.column names, and
rtrim(ltrim(<value> ) parses OK now.
Pls take a look at the revised script. I don't quite follow how to change
the iif to case when. I am getting an incorrect syntax error near THEN.
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong on the first CASE line and I'll fix
the rest the same way. Thanks! P

This is getting closer but now I get an incorrect syntax near the word AS on
the last line of the section below:
SELECT GVMOI2.TranDateSold, GVMOI2.CustomerID, GVMOI2.TaxIDNum,
GVMOI2.TaxIDType,
GVMOI2.ApplicationCode, GVMOI2.AccountNo,
Left("00000000000000000000",20-Len(GVMOI2.TraceNbr)) +
RTrim(LTrim(GVMOI2.TraceNbr)) AS TraceNbrEdt,
CASE WHEN IsNumeric(GVMOI2.CreditAmtCash)=1 THEN
Right(Convert(varchar,convert(money,1000
000000000+GVMOI2.CreditAmtCash)),13)
ELSE
Replicate('0',13) AS CashCRFmt,
It looks like they want to name the column CreditAmtCash when there is a
numeric value and name it CashCRFmt when the value is non-numeric. Let me
know if I am using Replicate correctly.
Thanks,

Convert String to Numeric without Decimal

Hi,

I am using Crystal Report 8.5 with Visual Basic 6.0 and MS Access database. Now situation is I have to display three different values for a particular condition. If data is there then number of records else zero and if even no depedend entry is there then "NA".

Variable is numeric and formula is

if {temp.var1} = 0 and {temp.var11} = 0 then 'NA'
else if {temp.var11} = 1 then '0'
else CStr ({temp.var1})

NOW problem is if I am using this report on a system having crystal report installed and set the numeric value as no decimal, it is working fine but when I try the same program on the system on which crystal is not installed it is showing decimal values upto 2 digits. I have used Report Expert Distribution also.

Any idea how to solve this problem. Thanks

VishalFormat that format field number as you want|||What does it mean. Could you please help me out by writing a example code for that.

thanks|||Roght click the field, select format section then goto number and select the required format
