I have a 2003 Access Database with several tables related in a one to many relationship with a parent I am looking to build a report which evaluates if different users of the table have all entered data properly.
As an example - the parent table creates the customer account number, customer last name and customer ssn. A related table creates all other customer information including address, phone etc., another related table contains information researched on the customer
I am new to expressions but have determined if I wish to conpare two fields from 2 separate tables that should contain the same information, (however the field names are different), I think I would use the if-then-else expression below.
I have built a query with the parent and both tables and used the criteria line in the table A field 1 column to place the expression. I have also tried to move the expression to a new column which creates Expr1: - both have not returned the appropriate responses.
I have also tried building the expression into a control on the report itself separate from the query with no success.
IIf([tableA.field1]=[tableB.field2], "field match", "field input error")
(I am using the expression builder - not skilled in code yet) - any suggestions?

SELECT ParentTable.Fie ld1,
IIf([ParentTable.fie ld1]=[tableA.field2], "field match", "field input error") As TableAMatch, IIf([ParentTable.fie ld1]=[tableB.field2], "field match", "field input error") As TableBMatch
FROM ((ParentTable LEFT JOIN TableA
ON ParentTable.Fie ld1=TableA.Fiel d2)
LEFT JOIN TableB ON ParentTable.Fie ld1=TableB.Fiel d2)
Try something like this ....
SELECT ParentTable.Fie ld1,
IIf([ParentTable.fie ld1]=[tableA.field2], "field match", "field input error") As TableAMatch, IIf([ParentTable.fie ld1]=[tableB.field2], "field match", "field input error") As TableBMatch

Thanks - where would I attach this statement - to a text box control in a report or to a new column in a query or to a criteria line in a column - trying to stay within boundaries of my knowledge of access expression builder feature/wizard
again - thanks

I meant for you to use this as the Record Source for a new report which is what you said you wanted.

I assume I'm not alone in my frustration that the expression builder
that comes (in part) with Access XP that dosnt wrap text when you open
it on an exisitng expression in a query or form.
I's bad enough that Microsoft dropped the expression builder from the
VB window (which I have restored using Michael Kaplan addin), but I
cant understand how they could not have fixed this obviously and

Hi,
I want to use the expression builder in a query to define a field. I

When though the expression is too complex, the builder is not very
convenient to use. I tried to use a function instead... The error I

I'm fairly new to Access, let alone Expression Builder. However, it
seems that I'm either doing something really wrong or Access is really
stupid!
I can't reference fields that show up on my report! For example, if I
have a field named MyField on my report, the Control Source has the
value MyField, and it displays the values of MyField properly in the
report. If I try to use an expression as simple as =, it
fails! I get "# Error"...

I like using the expression builder for a lot of different things but it
isn't always available when I want to use it, for example in the code

right-clicking in a field and selecting build.
Is there a shortcut key, a way to add a button to an Access toolbar, or
something like that so I can use to...

Hello Everyone,
I'm developing a client application in which the users need an
expression

Is is possible to call the expression builder e.g. via automation?
If yes, how can i execute the rules and get the result?

I know that there is a thread about this, but I was unable to add to it; I just joined. The problem is that I do not want to change the date format for the entire database output, merely for a header on a report and for a field on that report.
I thought that I could just go into the expression builder and paste one of the codes that were posted in the thread about this conversion-you'll know that did not work.
So, I went to the new...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
