GUIDFromString(stringexpression)
The GUIDFromString function has the following argument.
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| stringexpression | A string expression which evaluates to a GUID in string form. |
Remarks
The Microsoft Jet database engine stores GUIDs as arrays of type Byte. However, Microsoft Access can't return Byte data from a control on a form or report. In order to return the value of a GUID from a control, you must convert it to a string. To convert a GUID to a string, use the StringFromGUID function. To convert a string to a GUID, use the GUIDFromString function.
