[AccessD] IN clause function

Jim,

That's the way I have always handled it.  Just double checking that I

That's correct but what's to stop you from creating the entire SQL for the
query in a function and setting the query's SQL to the return of that
function (which could include the IN statement)?

The conclusion was no.

It would be a great feature though ...
