Thanks Stu,
My experimentation has found exactly that.
The grid will not support case statements, so you have to write them
directly in the sql window.
I was able to get my statements to work pretty well once I figured out
how the landscape was different than access.
Access does hold your hand a bit more and it's going to take some time
to get used to writing from scratch.
Thanks again.
