Hello again...
Use Access 2k7.
I have a table streets with street_id, street_name...fields
I have a module "functions" with follow code...

Code:
Public Function Soundex(strName As String) As String
Dim strCode As String, strCodeN As String
' Length of original string, last code returned, looping integer
Dim intLength As Integer, strLastCode As String, intI As Integer
 ' Save the first letter
 strCode = UCase(Left(strName, 1))
 ' Save its code number to check for duplicates
 strLastCode = GetSoundexCode(strCode)
 ' Calculate length to examine
 intLength = Len(strName)
 ' Create the code starting at the second letter.
 For intI = 2 To intLength
   strCodeN = GetSoundexCode(Mid(strName, intI, 1))
   ' If two letters that are the same are next to each other
   ' only count one of them
   If strCodeN > "0" And strLastCode <> strCodeN Then
     ' Different code number, add to the result
     strCode = strCode & strCodeN
   End If
   ' If this is not the special "skip" code (H or W)
   If strCodeN <> "0" Then
     ' Save the last code number
     strLastCode = strCodeN
   End If
 ' Loop
 Next intI
 ' Check the length
 If Len(strCode) < 4 Then
   ' Pad zeros
   strCode = strCode & String(4 - Len(strCode), "0")
 Else
   ' Make sure not more than 4
   strCode = Left(strCode, 4)
 End If
 ' Return the result
 Soundex = strCode
End Function

Function GetSoundexCode(strCharString) As String
 Select Case strChar
   Case "B", "F", "P", "V", "Β", "Φ", "Π" '3 last letters is Greek Characters
    GetSoundexCode = "1"
    Case "Ψ" 'is Greek Character
     GetSoundexCode = "12"
   Case "C", "G", "J", "K", "Q", "S", "X", "Z", "Γ", "Ζ", "Κ", "Ξ", "Σ", "Χ"  '6 last letters is Greek Characters
     GetSoundexCode = "2"
   Case "D", "T", "Δ", "Θ", "Τ"
     GetSoundexCode = "3"
   Case "L", "Λ"
     GetSoundexCode = "4"
   Case "M", "N", "Μ", "Ν"
     GetSoundexCode = "5"
   Case "R", "Ρ"
     GetSoundexCode = "6"
   Case "H", "W", "Α", "Ε", "Ι", "Ο", "Υ", "Ω", "Η"
     ' Special "skip" code
     GetSoundexCode = "0"
 End Select
End Function

Also have a question like that
Code:
SELECT streets.street_name, Soundex([street_name]) AS sound_code
FROM streets;
When run question system "Unspecified function Soundex ..." . why? where is mistake?
P.S. with build button in second field show in external functions "Functions" and inside "Soundex", "GetSoundexCode"
Regards
