Hi all
I've never found a use for Switch() but the other day a client asked
me to sort a small combobox in a weird way without adding a new column
with a sort index.
Here you can use Switch().
An example is how to sort colours by description:
<SQL>
SELECT
ID,
Description
FROM
tblColours
ORDER BY
Switch(
[Description]="Red",1,
[Description]="Yellow",2,
[Description]="Green",3,
[Description]="Cyan",4,
[Description]="Blue",5,
[Description]="Magenta",6,
True,9);
</SQL>
Note the last item for "catch any not listed".
