I've inherited a FoxPro database at work & I'm presently using Excel to
produce reports from the imported data.
I believe Access would be better suited for producing reports and so I am
trying to learn Access
..
I need to find particular words (locations i.e. store, compound) which have
been typed in a comment field, and in excel I would use something like:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("store",R2)),"DS",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("compound",R2)),"DC",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("laundry",R2)),"DL","2B")))
How do I achieve this in Access as I want to produce a report that is sorted
by location.
FYI I can not change the FoxPro database only export the information in it.
Any constructive help would be appreciated
