What am I missing my my code???????

[Guest]

I am trying to format a currency field in a DBW report by editing the SQL in
the wizard to the following:

SELECT *, Format(NetVal,'£#,##0.00) as NetVal1 FROM Vw_NOM_ANAL WHERE
(NominalCode = '1111' AND "Trading Year" = '1111')

But when I run the "verify query" I keep getting the following error
message: -

Server error: Unable to retrieve schema information from the query:

SELECT *, Format(NetVal,'£#,##0.00) as NetVal1 FROM Vw_NOM_ANAL WHERE
(NominalCode = '1111' AND "Trading Year" = '1111')

against a database using the connection string

DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=myservername;DATABASE=IT;UID=********

The following error message comes from the database driver software; it may
appear in a different language depending on how the driver is configured.
-------------------------------------------------------
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near
'1111'.

Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Number: -2147467259 (0x80004005)

Does anyone know what I have done wrong?

Jonathan,
What is "Trading Year"? Is it a column? If so then you need to put
brackets around it like [Trading Year].

Hope this helps,

Hi Mark,

Yes it was the [] that was creating that error message buy now I am getting
a message saying 'Format' is not a recognised function, please see below: -

Server error: Unable to retrieve schema information from the query:

SELECT * FROM Vw_NOM_ANAL WHERE (NominalCode = '1111 "Trading Year" =
'2004') SELECT *, Format(NetVal,'£#,##0.00') as NetVal1 FROM Vw_NOM_ANAL
WHERE (NominalCode = '0797' AND [Trading Year] = '1111'

against a database using the connection string

DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=myserver=IT;UID=********

The following error message comes from the database driver software; it may
appear in a different language depending on how the driver is configured.

Maybe this can help?

Invoking Built-in User-Defined Functions
Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 implements several built-in functions as
user-defined functions that return a table. The invocation of these
built-in user-defined functions follows special rules:

For built-in user-defined functions that return a table, the function
name must be specified with a leading double colon to distinguish
it from user-defined functions that are not built-in. It also must be
specified as a one-part name with no database or owner qualifications.
For example:
SELECT *
FROM ::fn_helpcollations()

For built-in user-defined functions that return a scalar value, the
function name must be specified as a one-part name (do not specify
database or owner). Do not specify a leading double colon .
