I have several action queries in an Access 2000 database that I would like to convert to SQL Server stored procedures. I have already moved all the tables to a SQL Server database and I haven't had any problems with action queries that don't call VBA functions. However, I'm at a loss as to how I go about converting the action queries that do contain function calls.
Do I need to re-write the VBA functions themselves as stored procedures? Or can they still be called from a SQL Server stored procedure?
Here's an example of a VBA function that I call from one of the action queries:
Function GetComponents(vItemCode As Variant) As String
Dim db As DAO.Database, rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim sCrit As String
On Error GoTo GetComponents_Err
Dim strErrMsg As String
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("qselItem
sCrit = "[Item] Like " & Trim(vItemCode)
rs.FindFirst sCrit
Do Until rs.NoMatch
GetComponents = GetComponents & rs!Component & ","
rs.FindNext sCrit
Loop
If Right(GetComponents, 1) = "," Then
GetComponents = Left(GetComponents, Len(GetComponents) - 1)
End If
rs.Close
Set db = Nothing
Set rs = Nothing
GetComponents_Exit:
Exit Function
GetComponents_Err:
Select Case Err
Case Else
strErrMsg = strErrMsg & "Error #: " & Format$(Err.Number) & vbCrLf
strErrMsg = strErrMsg & "Error Description: " & Err.Description
MsgBox strErrMsg, vbInformation, "GetComponents"
Resume GetComponents_Exit
End Select
End Function

Know where I can find some examples that would do the same thing as my function? Or do you have some sample T-SQL that I can reference?
Basically, this function loops through a recordset to find all components of a particular SKU and then separates those components with commas so they can be displayed in one field on a report.
Thanks for your suggestion Vitor; I'll check out the Query Analyzer help files. However, I would like to leave the question open for a while longer to give other experts a chance to add more information.
Personally, I try to refrain from referring people to help files when I answer questions and I try to provide clear, concise examples with sample code when appropriate. That is what I would hope other experts would do when answering questions that I post. A reference to a help file might be appropriate for a 50 point (or lower) question; but I would expect more information when the question is worth 200 points. Thank you.

Hi,
Unfortunaly, you must convert it to Transact-SQL.
Good Luck,
