Expression field in Query - text limit

Hello,

I have a really complex expression field that I wish to use in a query to sort a group of numbers into different string values i.e. 172 = "Bread Maker", etc. This is based on the IF...Then...ElseIf....Else expressions using the IIF in the expression.

What I need is when the data is inported it looks at the [Officer] field and associates that officer to a string value.

I believe there is a limit on characters in expression fields, can you help me with this??

Thanks,

Gary

Jacob,

Sorry, I am unable to send the file as it is a data protected document.

I think I have solved it anyway.

Thanks,

Gary


 

Access tip:

Copy a Previous Record's Values to a New Record

If you often enter the same value in one field of a table, there are two methods to save re-typing the data.

1. Use Ctrl+' (apostrophe) to repeat the value input in the previous record.

2. Change the field's DefaultValue property in Design View to the most commonly used value.
