[AccessD] weird query def

I've discovered what the problem is.  The query in question uses a function
to append City, State and zip into a single string.  That function is
defined in code in the FE where the query resides.  Without that field in
the query its fields show up in the query def.  With that function in the
query, the qureydef thinks it has no fields.  This seems pretty strange to
me since I am using the code that Gustav provided, opening the FE as a
database, setting a qdf from its querydefs collection and manipulating that.
You'd think it could see the functions inside the database but apparently
not.

This is a real show stopper since the wizard needs to be able to grab the
query field names to match against the bookmarks in the doc being merged.

Bummer!

Subject: [AccessD] weird query def


I have a weird one.  I am opening a query def and reading all of the field
names out into a comma delimited string to use as a row source for a combo.
All that stuff works.  One of the queries in the db I am trying to work on
says it has NO fields.  If I execute the query I get data.  If I look at the
querydef itself, I can see the name of the query, the SQL property, etc.
But ask it for the .Fields.Count and it comes back 0.

Very unsettling since I need to use this method for displaying field names
to the user to select to match against document book marks in a mail merge
wizard.

I compacted / repaired both the wizard as well as the FE that actually holds
the query in question.  Two other queries that I am performing this
operation on work perfectly.  One apparently has no fields.
