  Hi,

  Hopefully someone can help. i have the following description field in access:

  CDbl(1/([NUM_STOP]-1)) AS [TL Equivilent]

  Is there any way that i can convert the CDBL to SQL language?

  t-sql doesn't have a double but you can easily get the results you are looking for.

  1/([NUM_STOP]-1.0) AS [TL Equivilent]

  Notice the 1.0 versus original 1 as t-sql will return int if the 1 is used.
