Field Contains?

[Guest]

Is there a function for to ask whether a field in table or query contains a
certain value? eg

If table1.[number] ""contains"" 10 then
do somthing etc etc.

TIA

Rico,

Sort of... you can use a DCount() function to count the number of
records in the table in which the field value is x, or contains a
certain string. If no match, then the function will return 0. Look up
the function in Help if unfamiliar.

HTH,
Nikos

well, you should be using Access data projects.. and if you're doign
that instead of crappy mdb; then you can use Full Text Search to use
the contains keyword.

dao.recordset.findstring
use the if dao.recordset.nomatch then... clause
to build your code
