I am try to do a query of dates.
I have an access adp front end with sql2000 backend
I am trying to query vacation dates.
the start date month and day is based on month(hiredate) & day(hiredate)
i need to find the number of days taken during a specific period
i have to use entering start date and end date and days.

i am trying a query that returns sum of days before the end date changes.

it works in sql analyzer but doesn't when i paste it in EM
doesn't want to save it. it says error by if..

heres the code.

SE EMPLOYEE

IF { fn CURDATE() } > (SELECT distinct cast(Year(dbo.[Employment Information].[Hire Date]) as varchar(30)) + '-' + CAST(DATEPART([month], dbo.[Employment Information].[Hire Date]) AS VARCHAR(30)) + '-' + CAST(DATEPART([day], dbo.[Employment Information].[Hire Date]) AS VARCHAR(30))
FROM dbo.[Employment Information] INNER JOIN
dbo.[Employee Vacation] ON dbo.[Employment Information].[Employee ID] = dbo.[Employee Vacation].[Employee ID])

BEGIN

SELECT dbo.[Employee Vacation].[Employee ID], SUM(dbo.[Employee Vacation].[Number of Days]) AS [Days Taken]
FROM dbo.[Employee Vacation] INNER JOIN
dbo.[Employment Information] ON dbo.[Employee Vacation].[Employee ID] = dbo.[Employment Information].[Employee ID]
WHERE (dbo.[Employee Vacation].[Start Date] BETWEEN CAST(DATEPART([month], dbo.[Employment Information].[Hire Date]) AS VARCHAR(30))
+ '-' + CAST(DATEPART([day], dbo.[Employment Information].[Hire Date]) AS VARCHAR(30)) + '-' + CAST(YEAR({ fn CURDATE() }) AS VARCHAR(30)) AND
CAST(DATEPART([month], dbo.[Employment Information].[Hire Date]) AS VARCHAR(30)) + '-' + CAST(DATEPART([day],
dbo.[Employment Information].[Hire Date]) AS VARCHAR(30)) + '-' + CAST(YEAR({ fn CURDATE() })+ 1 AS VARCHAR(30)))
GROUP BY dbo.[Employee Vacation].[Employee ID]
END

ELSE
BEGIN

SELECT dbo.[Employee Vacation].[Employee ID], SUM(dbo.[Employee Vacation].[Number of Days]) AS [Days Taken]
FROM dbo.[Employee Vacation] INNER JOIN
dbo.[Employment Information] ON dbo.[Employee Vacation].[Employee ID] = dbo.[Employment Information].[Employee ID]
WHERE (dbo.[Employee Vacation].[Start Date] BETWEEN CAST(DATEPART([month], dbo.[Employment Information].[Hire Date]) AS VARCHAR(30))
+ '-' + CAST(DATEPART([day], dbo.[Employment Information].[Hire Date]) AS VARCHAR(30)) + '-' + CAST(YEAR({ fn CURDATE() }) - 1 AS VARCHAR(30)) AND
CAST(DATEPART([month], dbo.[Employment Information].[Hire Date]) AS VARCHAR(30)) + '-' + CAST(DATEPART([day],
dbo.[Employment Information].[Hire Date])- 1 AS VARCHAR(30)) + '-' + CAST(YEAR({ fn CURDATE() }) AS VARCHAR(30)))
GROUP BY dbo.[Employee Vacation].[Employee ID]
END

Access SQL is not equal to T-SQL and does not always run 'out-of-the-box-without-change'. You need to convert some of your code to comply with T-SQL systax rules. Read up on the differences between the 2 versions of the language and search here for some examples.
