Hey Guys,

I have an access database as a store for some data. I have a custom function in my MDB that is basically a CASE statement. It works when build queries within the MDB itself...is there a way I can call on this function when querying the tables externally via an access ODBC connection?

I am using microsoft query to pull the data into excel.

Thanks

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
when you have a pass-through query, the only functions you can use are those recognized by the native language of the query...

The alternative is to make two queries:

(1) Query 1 gets fields from the linked tables
(2) Query 2 is based on (1) and adds calculations/criteria based on calculations
