Description fqs7432 2005-11-08 13:46:52 UTC 
The function SELECT CASE WHEN works in queries and views, but if a query  
contains such a statement, the design view of the query is no longer available  
and the report generator will refuse to show the fields of that query. 
 
I tried to fool the report generator, by generating a report before the query 
contained the union select part (the second select statement, which follows 
the word UNION, included), and afterwards modifying the query, but the report 
won't generate any report, merely the layout template, if used once the query 
was made to include the UNION SELECT part.

Sorry, the text in the first paragraph contains an error. Instead of "The 
function SELECT CASE WHEN" it should read "The UNION SELECT statement"

several 'handmade' sql strings cannot be 'translated' in the query design ui -
this is one of them - to improve the query design in this direction make sense
