select statement

  • I have table in MS ACCESS:

    has hire_date, rehired_Date, Termination_Date.

    I want to

    select rehired_date as hire_date when terminate_date

    How to write this statement ?

    ig:

    hired_date as 10/1/07

    termination date 10/03/07

    rehired_date 10/2/08

    then the hired_date will outcome as 10/02/08

    hired_date as 10/1/07

    termination date 10/02/07

    rehired_date null

    then the hired_date will outcome as 10/01/07

    hired_date as 10/1/07

    termination date 10/03/07

    rehired_date is 10/02/07

    then the hired_date will outcome as 10/02/07

    Thx.

    Not seeing termination date having anything to do with what is returned. Looks to like you want something like this:

    select isnull(rehired_date, hired_date) from sometable

  • If you're using natve Access queries - you will need to use the NZ function instead of the ISNULL function Lynn mentioned (ISNULL is something different in Access).

    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?
