Hello ,

is there something like a binary_checksum function in Access (2003). (MSSQL
aggregate func)

I'm trying to create some sort of synchronization between Access & another
DBMS and I want to know if something on a particular row has really changed
(I cannot use a 'Modified' date or a Timestamp field)

A (very) fast function that concatenates all fieldvalues of a row and then
creates a key (length < 50) would also be a consideration, altough I think
speed is going to be an issue.

Regards,
Yves.
 
Already answered in another newsgroup to which you posted the same question.

If you feel you need to post to more than one group (HINT: it's seldom
necessary), please have the courtesy to cross-post (send the one message to
all groups at once), rather than multi-post (send individual messages to
each group). In this way, all responses to your post will be available
together, regardless of what group the responder was in, and the rest of us
won't have to read your post multiple times. (It also uses fewer server
resources)

I see you're using Outlook Express. Click the "Newsgroups:" label to the
left of the box containing the name of the current newsgroup. That will open
a dialog that will let you add additional newsgroups to your post.

Note that it's generally consider to be A Bad Thing to cross-post to more
than about 2 or 3 newsgroups. (In fact, at
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2001/Mar01/Mar27pmvp.asp
Microsoft suggests that "One group will suffice")
