CASE Statements using SQL in MS Access

2
Can someone help me please. I have data from another system passed into an Access db that we use to run queries. One of the fields gets passed codes: G, S, Q. I wanted to know how to have them displayed as GGG, SSS, QQQ for userfriendliness. There is other complex stuff going on where i need to do this through the visual basic editor in access. It does not appear to be working. This is what i have so far:

strSQL1 = "SELECT DISTINCTROW [dbo_ContactAccount_vw].[contactid], [Account].[Location], market = CASE [Account].[market] WHEN 'G' THEN 'GGG' WHEN 'Q' THEN 'QQQ' WHEN 'S' THEN 'SSS' ELSE [Account].[market] END,"

strSQL2 = "FROM ([Account] INNER JOIN [ContactAccount] ON [Account].[AccountId] = [ContactAccount].[accountid]) INNER JOIN [Contact] ON [ContactAccount].[contactid] = [Contact].[ContactId] WHERE ("

strSQL3 = "(([Account].[Owner]) " & strOwner & ") AND (([Account].[Market]) " & strMarket & ") AND (([Contact].[Never_Mail]) " & strNeverMail & "))"

strSQL5 = " OR "

strSQL6 = "((([Account].[Owner]) " & strOwner & ") AND (([Account].[Region]) " & strRegion & ") AND AND (([Account].[Market]) " & strMarket & ") AND (([Contact].[NeverEmail]) " & strNeverEmail & ") AND (([Contact].[Never_Mail]) " & strNeverMail & ")));"

If (Me!BODList.ItemsSelected.Count = 0) And (Me!RoleList.ItemsSelected.Count > 0) Then
qdf.SQL = strSQL1 & strSQL2 & strSQL3 & strSQL4 & ");"
End If

What's giving me the problem case statement portion in strSQL1. When i take that out, the query runs properly but gives me the Q, G, S values which means nothing to outsiders. Does anyone know what i am doing wrong? I am in access 2003.

Hi,
For the CASE statement, in fact MS Access SQL doesn't have CASE statement. You have to replace it with the statement Switch(A=B,B*58,B=C,B*56) and so on!
For the rest I can't help you!

As the previous expert stated Access SQL doesn't allow CASE statements. Can you set up a Lookup table in the SQL backend to the effect the "G" = "GGG", etc. Then use an INNER JOIN statement on Account.Market = Lookup.Market and SELECT the second field in the lookup table.
