Hi There,

I'm a bit new to the world of using straight SQL code in MS Access (as
opposed to using the query builder).

Now, I have an Informix database that I'm working with, and I need to know
the steps in MS Access to paste an existing block of SQL code for use.

How do I do this?

Click to expand...

Create a new Query, not selecting any table; select "SQL" from the
dropdown icon at the left end of the query toolbar, or use View... SQL
on the view menu; copy and paste the SQL into this window.

Note that JET SQL and Informix SQL are two different dialects, and the
query may well fail to work without some tweaking.
