Syntax for applying a module function to a field in a query?

[Guest]

I have function module that converts date to fiscal year called FiscalYear.
I have a query with date fields, say, StartDate & EndDate that need to be
shown as Fiscal years. How do I construct the syntax? I tried the folowing:
In query design view for a field I typed in
SDFY:[FiscalYear]tablename.StartDate and tried diffeent positions & types of
parenthesis This gives me a syntax error. If only lable SDFY:[FiscalYear]
then it simply asks for fiscal year and reproduces these in the added column.
Help??

Hi:

In query type
SDFY:FiscalYear([tablename].[StartDate])

Make sure tablename is part of the query table list. The VBA function should
have a parenthesis following the name and the arguments are the fields in
the query.
