Question : Need SQL Translation - Access SQL to SQL 2008 Express

I built three queries in Access 2007 and need to have them run in SQL 2008 express. I copied the Access' version of SQL to SQL 2008 Express and its not working. It doesn't like the IIF or the NZ. I don't know SQL and apparently my queries are too complex for my SQL conterpart to get to work. I really need help translating these three queries.

I have attached a Word file containing the three queries.

Answer : Need SQL Translation - Access SQL to SQL 2008 Express

I wrote the following code for another problem, i have taken out the unnecessary stuff, I believe this is a much better way to approach opening the said workbook, then closing it, then quitting excel

notice the private function at the bottom, also this assumes you will add a reference to excel in the project and also use Imports Excel = microsoft.blah.blah.blha
