Full name in table to abbreviation in query

[pldm123]

Hi all,



I have a table populated by a form where the user enters the country and state/province (complete names) as an account information. The user can enter up to 2 accounts for each case.

Later in the process, I am using a query to get information from that table. However, I would like the query to output the country and state abbreviation instead of a full name. Only one of the two accounts is displayed using a iff statement.

"Country: Iff([Type]="Type1";[AdrCountry_1];Iff([Type]="Type2";[AdrCountry_2];""))"

I created a "full name - abbreviation" table.

What do I need to add to the query (as of now my output is the full name) to get the abbreviation?

Thank you very much,

instead of nesting Iif statements, try the easier SWITCH function

country: Switch( [Type]="Type1", [AdrCountry_1], [Type]="Type2", [AdrCountry_2])
