Hi,
I'm trying to create Domain Aggregate function that mimic Access' Dlookup
function, but without any luck, after digging (i think) all the docs
don't have the solution yet.
Syntax:
DLookup ('field', 'table|view', ['condition'])
where:
field -- column name or calculation
table|view --
condition (optional) -- SQL WHERE condition without the
WHERE keyword
If the query returns multiple rows then it will only get the
topmost column.
If the query retuns 0 rows then NULL would be returned
An example argument to the function would be
DLookup ('id', 'student', 'name=\'Bill Gates\'') --> '2001-432'
For now, I use some workaround for this, and it would be easier for me if
this function is present.
Hope u guys can help ;). Thank u in advance
Herbert
