Using A Function

I have found this very practicle function

CREATE FUNCTION FN_TRANSLATE (@VALIN VARCHAR (8000),
@FROM VARCHAR(256), @TO VARCHAR(256))
RETURNS VARCHAR (8000)
AS
BEGIN
-- effets de bord
IF @VALIN IS NULL
RETURN NULL
IF @FROM IS NULL OR @TO IS NULL
RETURN NULL
IF LEN(@VALIN) = 0
RETURN @VALIN
-- initialisation
DECLARE @I INTEGER
DECLARE @OUT VARCHAR(8000)
SET @OUT = ''
-- lecture caractère par caractère
SET @I =1
WHILE @I <= LEN(@VALIN)
BEGIN
IF PATINDEX('%' + SUBSTRING(@VALIN, @I, 1)+ '%', @FROM) > 0
BEGIN
IF LEN(@TO) >= PATINDEX('%'
+ SUBSTRING(@VALIN, @I, 1)
+ '%', @FROM)
SET @OUT = @OUT
+ SUBSTRING(@TO, PATINDEX('%'
+ SUBSTRING(@VALIN, @I, 1)+ '%', @FROM), 1)
END
ELSE
SET @OUT = @OUT + SUBSTRING(@VALIN, @I, 1)
SET @I = @I + 1
END
RETURN @OUT
END

but how can I use it in MS SQL 2000-25000 ?

FN_TRANSLATE(dbo.Users.Name, 'àâäçéèêëîïôöùûüÿ',
'aaaceeeeiioouuuy')

doesnt work

I get an error on the colum name dbo.Users.Name


thank you
