  hi fellow DBA's...just need your little help....this is my query in SQL Server 2000.

  "SELECT tblSchoolYear.SchoolYearTitle" & _

  " From tblSchoolYear" & _

  " Where (((Val(Left([tblSchoolYear]![SchoolYear], 4))) > " & Left(sOldSchoolYear, 4) & "))" & _

  " ORDER BY tblSchoolYear.SchoolYearTitle;"

  the error message with that query is:

  Err: 'Val' is not a recognized function name.

  so my question is:

  1. How to rewrite my query to a SQL Server 2000?

  Note: Im using VB6 and SQL Server 2000
