I am trying to run the below query in Access and I get the following error: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '(case when ModeCode in ('B','G') and claimpaiddate is not null then 'Paid' when ModeCode not in ('B','G') and ClaimStatus not like 'D%' and claimpaiddate is not null then 'Paid' else 'Denied' end),


select cd.PlanID as "Plan ID",
PlanName,
ApptDate,
PickupState,

GroupID,
TripLegID,
Triplegstatus,
ClaimStatus,
(case when ModeCode in ('B','G') and claimpaiddate is not null then 'Paid'
when ModeCode not in ('B','G') and ClaimStatus not like 'D%' and claimpaiddate is not null then 'Paid' else 'Denied' end) as PaidorDenied,
ClaimPaidDate,

pp.PlanState,
pp.Population,
pp.Status,
ServiceMonth,

from reports.dbo.Datamart_ClaimDetails cd JOIN

where apptdate >= '01/01/2017'
Group by cd.PlanID,

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Access doesn't have Case...When, I think you might want to look at using Iif.

Perhaps something like this.

Iif(ModeCode In ('B', 'G') And Not IsNull(claimpaiddate), 'Paid', Iif(Not Claimstatus Like 'D*' and Not IsNull(claimpaiddate), 'Paid', 'Denied'))

Code:

  reports.dbo.Datamart_ClaimDetails as cd 
  JOIN
  reports.dbo.pricing_PlanGroupings as pp 
    on 
    cd.PlanID = pp.Plan_Code

so these are MS SQL Server tables or Oracle tables ?

and you have them linked or imported in Access

if linked, how ?

and is this a regular Access query or a passthrough query
