the "Tilda"

[mggjpm]

I'm looking at some access/sql code... and this "~" keeps appearing at the begining of a line... what the hell does it mean?

Examples below:

~DQuarter{Date} ((100*year(date))+1+Int((month(date)-1)/3))

~CalcPaymentsMade{} as NumOfPayments

Also, are these functions above? They look different than what I'm used to but I think I'm starting to figure them out.


Thanks all

Is this in VBA? I'm assuming that this is part of the expression type in a query or macro coding. I would assume this would be Microsofts auto-format of particular expressions.
