    Running two SQL Statements

    I have one query, where I added the leading "0's" and the SQL statement I used to do this was:



    SELECT =Format([SKP B],"00000") AS Expr1
    FROM Sheet1;

    Then from this query, I want to combine the SKP B (with the leading zero's) and SKP A into one row in Access, and use the following SQL statement to do that:

    SELECT [Field1] & "-" & [Field2] AS Field1_Field2
    FROM Sheet1;

    The problem that I run into is that when I run the 2nd SQL statement the leading "O's" are dropped.

    I know that you can do this in two separate queries but I would much rather do it in one if that is possible.
    So my question is, is there a way to run two SQL statements in one query?
    OR is there a way for me to combine both of these statements into one SQL query?

    You are not telling it to add the leading zeros:

    Try:
    SELECT Format([Field1],"00000")[Field1] & "-" & Format([Field1],"00000")[Field2] AS Field1_Field2
    FROM Sheet1;

    Try:

    Code:
     
    SELECT Format([Field1],"00000") & "-" & Format([Field2],"00000")[Field2] AS Field1_Field2
    FROM Sheet1;
