I want to create a UDF using mssql server 2000 that return a field from a table, but the return value i want it to be as value not as table. Is That could be done ?

I am not familiar with the term 'UDF'. Is it some sort of recordset variant?

If you know what type you would like the function to return you could use that type :

Code:

CREATE FUNCTION fnTest
RETURNS varchar(50) -- this will return a text value
AS
BEGIN
....
END
GO

Note: Since User Defined Functions are SQL native, this question actually belongs in the forum MS Access/SQL server.
