Decode function
Dear all,
I'm just new in access databases (using MSaccess 2003) I've a native application generating an sql code against an oracle database. I 'd like to use this code in access via a linked table but my sql using a "decode" function (transforming 1 into "Y" and 0 into "No". What would be the equivalent via access? Thanks in advance TT

Decode function
You can just write a public function in VB that does the conversion.
The function will accept 1 or 0 as a parameter and return Y or No. Call the function from your query. -- Dorian "Give someone a fish and they eat for a day; teach someone to fish and they eat for a lifetime".

You could use IIF like this --
IIF([YourField] = 1, "Y", "No") unless there maybe other entries besides 1 and 0. Then this -- IIF([YourField] = 1, "Y", IIF([YourField] = 0, "No", "Error"))) -- Build a little, test a little.
