S
stumped
I am creating a database from an Excel spreadsheet. On the spreadsheet,
there is a feild for "language". The responses have been entered as the
first letter or first two letters of the language, e.g Spanish is "S",
English is "E", and Chinese Mandarin is "CM".
When imported into Access, the language of someone speaking Spanish,
English, Manadarin would read "S,E,CM" in the lnaguage column.
With data organized like this, is it possible to run a query on one
particular language. I have tried to do this and Access only seems to
recognize the first letter of the field. So if I wanted to run a query for
Manadarin, Access is only giving me the people that speak Manadarin and not
those who speak Manadarin and another language.
Is there a work aorund without having to do a "yes or no" for each language?
