Do you remove VBA function names in queries before upsizing queries (Upsizing problem)?

The Upsizing Tools do not try to upsize Microsoft Access query that includes VBA function names that don't have their equivalent Transact-SQL functions. The upsizing result will depend on Microsoft Access version (2000/2002/2003) and SQL Server Version (2000/2005). The following varieties of queries will not upsize:

• Queries referencing value in control, for example Forms![FormName]![ControlName] (Access 2000)
• Select queries that take parameters (Access 2000)
• Select queries where parameter used more than once (All versions of Access)
• Select queries referencing Format function (All versions of Access)

You have to manually edit SQL definition in Microsoft Access (remove or replace keyword) and modify view/stored procedure/function T-SQL in SQL Server after upsizing.

SELECT Orders.OrderID,
    "Order Subtotals".Subtotal,
     FORMAT (ShippedDate,'yyyy') AS Year
FROM Orders
INNER JOIN "Order Subtotals"
    ON (Orders.OrderID="Order Subtotals".OrderID);

❌ Figure: Bad example of Access query with FORMAT keyword

SELECT Orders.OrderID,
    "Order Subtotals".Subtotal,
     YEAR (ShippedDate) AS [Year]
FROM Orders
INNER JOIN "Order Subtotals"
    ON (Orders.OrderID="Order Subtotals".OrderID)

✅ Figure: Good example of SQL Server view with YEAR keyword
