Hi guys,
I am completely at a lose here. I have a LARGE sql query that was written before my time and how have the task of customizing it a little. It will run perfectly in Advisor Office (the program it was written for which uses access as the back end db). But if i try and create a query in access directly i get the following error:
the full IIF statement that is causing it to fail is:
The WHOLE SQL query spans over 4 pages of A4 so i will only put it at the bottom (hoping its not needed to see the error. There are a few unions so i will put the first one in here to show what it is doing.
If I changed the IIF statement to:
it all works great but i need this information and its driving me mad. I can not see why it doesnt work within Access.
Any and All help would be great.
thx
Twiggy
I have attached the FULL sql query if you want to look at it all.. it hurts my head to read it all
