Query To String Converter

[BerkshireGuy]

I thought I remember a utility that lets you cut a Select statement
from a query and it converts it to be used in VB. Takes the work out
of making sure the syntax is correct.

Anyone know of such a utility?

The SQL created by the Query Wizard? in Access is convoluted, verbose,
inefficient, ugly and bad. (For the young: It sucks!)

One might consider going from the String to to the Stored Definition as a
more productive route. After one has learned to write SQL, many previously
puzzling tasks may seem simple.

In any case the QueryDef's SQL (string property) holds the SQL string.

Thanks Lyle:

I don't think it's clear. I know how to write SQL, but sometimes I
want to take a query and use the same logic (select statement) in VB
(perhaps in a recordset or whatever). I usually just copy and paste -
but then you need to fix all the syntax - single quote instead of
double, etc. I was wondering if there was a program that formatted a
querys SQL for VBA use.

Hi -
You might be thinking of SQL Grabber. It's freeware available at Applecore.
