[AccessD] weird query def

MessageInteresting idea, though I doubt that will work either.  The
recordset will get its field list from the querydef, which returns no field
list.

  This may be rubbish, but could you create a recordset from the query and
then pick up the field names from that instead?

      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!

      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.
