This query is used to call a specific set of work requests over a period of time, this query takes date inputs and the system number from a form. The query result is then put into another form to view.
I've gone over all VBA code that is relevant to this and there seems to be no problems there however so I have determined that the query is too complex and as I am not too well versed in SQL I am not too sure where to go from here.
This Query also provides a #name? Error viewed in forms

I have tried this every different way, and it was working yesterday, so I really don't know what changed.
I import a spreadsheet to a temp table in an Access app. Then I set that to be the dao.recordset, and start looping through. I check for the ID to not be null and if not go through checking fields for values, and updating as appropriate. the minute I hit a null, I get a system error "94 - invalid use of null"
It doesn't offer a debug, but I have debugs throughout my code, so I can see where it fails. It fails when I do this check: If IsNull(rstImportCList("columnx")) = False Then
I have tried nz(rstImportCList("columnx"),"") <> "" I have tried rstImportCList("columnx") is not null, and everything else I can think of. Why is the check that is supposed to prevent this error, causing this error?
Edit:
This is the beginning where I declare the recordset I can't get past doing anything with the recordset field.
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rstImportCList As DAO.Recordset
Dim RSsql As String
Set db = CurrentDb()
RSsql = "Select * from tblTempImportCList"
Set rstImportCList = db.OpenRecordset(RSsql)
If rstImportCList.EOF Then Exit Sub
Do While Not rstImportCList.EOF
whether I try to check
IsNull(rstImportCList("xyz").Value) = False
or
nz(rstImportCList("xyz").Value,"") <> ""
or
dim x as string
x = rstImportCList!xyz.value
I get the same error 94 invalid use of null.
Any idea why this is?
--edit with more code.
I took some time to take a the beginning and some of each section of the code, so I could make it generic and see if anyone can help. Here is what I am working on. The Code1 and Code2 parts don't seem to be the issue. Sometimes it fails on a null value in a Yes/No column (I'm just looking for Y but the value is null), sometimes on the notes being null. It's not consistent, which is why I'm having a hard time nailing down the issue.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I'm 1/2 tempted to suck this into a SQL table and just execute a stored procedure. I can get it to work in there, I think.
If IsNull(rstImportCList("columnx").Value) Then
otherwise you're checking if the Field object itself is null.

This is a case where relying on a default property (in this case Value) causes problems.
We have a Front end app created in MS Access and a back-end supported by an Oracle database.
The users are required to upload an Excel file (around 6000 rows) every day and the process is done currently like this:
we have a temporary table where a VBA code is moving the excel data (the table is empty at every load)
once the file is uploaded another VBA code is pulling the data from that table and moves it using DAO to the server, line by line
The process takes a huge amount of time and we need to speed up the process.
The existing code with some adjustments and fields not presented here:
Public Function import_to_dwh_old_1() As Boolean
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Dim bol As Boolean
Dim strSQL_hr As Object
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset

bol = True
strSQL = "Select * FROM temp_hr"
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenSnapshot)
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("DISPUTE_MGMT_DD_HR")

Obviously, the second method does not work.. Could someone point me to the right direction?
Thank you!
I have a form (frmSearch) that I use several (4) comboboxes to filter out results for a listbox (lstCustomers). What I'm attempting to do now is create the ability to filter the listbox based on a text box of "keywords". Additionally, the column which the keyword box will search will be variable based on cboWhere which is a list of columns from tblContacts (the table qryContactWants uses)
I found a really nice Function set with the following code that will let me filter everything, but I'm not entirely sure how to turn this data around and use it to filter out my listbox.
This function organizes the keywords:
Public Function FindAnyWord(varFindIn, strWordList As String) As Boolean
Dim var
Dim aWords
aWords = Split(strWordList, ",")
For Each var In aWords
If FindWord(varFindIn, var) Then
FindAnyWord = True
Exit Function
End If
Next var
End Function
And this function actually performs the search:
Public Function FindWord(varFindIn As Variant, varWord As Variant) As Boolean
Const PUNCLIST = """' .,?!:;(){}[]-—/"
Dim intPos As Integer
FindWord = False
If Not IsNull(varFindIn) And Not IsNull(varWord) Then
intPos = InStr(varFindIn, varWord)
' loop until no instances of sought substring found
Do While intPos > 0
' is it at start of string
If intPos = 1 Then
' is it whole string?
If Len(varFindIn) = Len(varWord) Then
FindWord = True
Exit Function
' is it followed by a space or punctuation mark?
ElseIf InStr(PUNCLIST, Mid(varFindIn, intPos + Len(varWord), 1)) > 0 Then
FindWord = True
Exit Function
End If
Else
' is it precedeed by a space or punctuation mark?
If InStr(PUNCLIST, Mid(varFindIn, intPos - 1, 1)) > 0 Then
' is it at end of string or followed by a space or punctuation mark?
If InStr(PUNCLIST, Mid(varFindIn, intPos + Len(varWord), 1)) > 0 Then
FindWord = True
Exit Function
End If
End If
End If
' remove characters up to end of first instance
' of sought substring before looping
varFindIn = Mid(varFindIn, intPos + 1)
intPos = InStr(varFindIn, varWord)
Loop
End If
End Function
And here is the code that I typically use to filter the listbox using the comboboxes on frmSearch:
Dim column As String
SQL = "SELECT qryContactWants.ID, qryContactWants.FullName, qryContactWants.Type, qryContactWants.Make, qryContactWants.Model, qryContactWants.YearWanted, qryContactWants.Condition " _
& "FROM qryContactWants " _
& "WHERE 1=1 "
If cboType.Value & "" <> "" Then
SQL = SQL & " AND qryContactWants.Type = '" & cboType.Value & "'"
End If
If cboMake.Value & "" <> "" Then
SQL = SQL & " AND qryContactWants.Make = '" & cboMake.Value & "'"
End If
If cboModel.Value & "" <> "" Then
SQL = SQL & " AND qryContactWants.Model = '" & cboModel.Value & "'"
End If
If cboYear.Value & "" <> "" Then
SQL = SQL & " AND qryContactWants.YearWanted = '" & cboYear.Value & "'"
End If
If cboCondition.Value & "" <> "" Then
SQL = SQL & " AND qryContactWants.Condition = '" & cboCondition.Value & "'"
End If
SQL = SQL & " ORDER BY qryContactWants.Last"
Me.lstCustomers.RowSource = SQL
Me.lstCustomers.Requery
End Sub
What I would like to do is take the functions I found for searching keywords and apply it to my form and aid in returning a list of customers in lstCustomers
Ideally, having the keyword function return an SQL statement similar to those I'm using to filter out the listbox would be perfect. This would allow me to add a simple SQL = SQL & "AND qryContactWants.VARIABLECOLUMNHERE =SOMETHING
EDIT 1:
While using the following code, VBA is tossing a compile error on the second "End If" stating there isn't a Block If. There clearly is, so I'm not sure what's going on. Here is the code I'm using:
Public Function KeyWhere(strKeys As String, strColumn As String) As String
Dim b As Variant
strKeys = Replace(strKeys, vbCrLf, ",") ' remove all line returns
b = Split(strKeys, ",")
Dim strWhere As String
Dim v As Variant
For Each v In b
If Trim(b) <> "" Then
If strWhere <> "" Then strWhere = strWhere & " or "
strWhere = strWhere & strColumn & " like '*" & Trim(v) & "*'"
End If
End If
Next
strWhere = "(" & strWhere & ")"
KeyWhere = strWhere
End Function
And under the function RequerylistCustomers() I added the If IsNull (Me.txtSearch) = False Then code below:
Private Sub RequerylstCustomers()
Dim SQL As String
'Dim criteria As String
Dim column As String
SQL = "SELECT qryContactWants.ID, qryContactWants.FullName, qryContactWants.Type, qryContactWants.Make, qryContactWants.Model, qryContactWants.YearWanted, qryContactWants.Condition " _
& "FROM qryContactWants " _
& "WHERE 1=1 "
If cboType.Value & "" <> "" Then
SQL = SQL & " AND qryContactWants.Type = '" & cboType.Value & "'"
End If
If cboMake.Value & "" <> "" Then
SQL = SQL & " AND qryContactWants.Make = '" & cboMake.Value & "'"
End If
If cboModel.Value & "" <> "" Then
SQL = SQL & " AND qryContactWants.Model = '" & cboModel.Value & "'"
End If
If cboYear.Value & "" <> "" Then
SQL = SQL & " AND qryContactWants.YearWanted = '" & cboYear.Value & "'"
End If
If cboCondition.Value & "" <> "" Then
SQL = SQL & " AND qryContactWants.Condition = '" & cboCondition.Value & "'"
End If
Dim strWhere As String
'Grab Keywords from txtSearch using cboWhere to search for those keywords
If IsNull(Me.txtSearch) = False Then
strWhere = KeyWhere(Me.txtSearch, Me.cboWhere)
SQL = SQL & " AND " & strWhere
End If
SQL = SQL & " ORDER BY qryContactWants.Last"
Me.lstCustomers.RowSource = SQL
Me.lstCustomers.Requery
End Sub
Are the keywords to be searched in a single column (say a comments or memo column?). If yes, then you should be able to optional "add" the one additional criteria to your current "set" of combo box filters.
Are we to assume that the keywords can appear anywhere in that memo column to search?
So, if there are "key words entered into that text box, then you call KeyWhere.
eg this routine:
Public Function KeyWhere(strKeys As String, strColumn As String) As String
Dim b As Variant
strKeys = Replace(strKeys, vbCrLf, ",") ' remove all line returns
b = Split(strKeys, ",")
Dim strWhere As String
Dim v As Variant
For Each v In b
if trim(v) <> "" then
If strWhere <> "" Then strWhere = strWhere & " or "
strWhere = strWhere & strColumn & " like '*" & Trim(v) & "*'"
end if
Next
strWhere = "(" & strWhere & ")"
KeyWhere = strWhere
End Function
We assume each key word is separated by a comma (could be space, but comma is better).
So, if I type in the following command in debug window to test the above?
? keywhere("Generator, Water maker, Battery","Notes")
OutPut:
(Notes like '*Generator*' or Notes like '*Water maker*' or Notes like '*Battery*')
So, we just append the above results to your final SQL.
eg:
dim strWhere as string
if isnull(me.KeyWordBox) = False then
strWhere = keyWhere(me.KeyWordBox,me.cboColumnToSearch)
SQL = SQL & " AND " & strWhere
end if
so, the above converts all keywords into a valid SQL condition for the column to search. It is likely that column is some kind of notes column, but it would work for other description type field to search.

First: You should never include a constant like vbCrLf when building a query string. The query parser doesn't care if there's a linefeed, and in fact this can sometimes cause issues.
Your code seems to do nothing more that verify whether the value in newdata exists in the tbl_ael_parts and is associated with the value master_ael_id value currently showing on frm_qry_niin_local. If so, then just use DCount, or use this for your query:
strSQL2 = "SELECT tbl_ael_parts.master_ael_id INNER JOIN tbl_ael_parts ON
tbl_master_niin.master_niin_id = tbl_ael_parts.master_niin_id WHERE (((tbl_ael_parts.master_ael_id)=
" & Forms!frm_qry_niin_local!master_ael_id & ") AND niin=" & newdata & ");"
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = currentdb.OPenrecordset(strsql2)
If (rst.EOF and rst.BOF) Then
' no records returned
Else
' records found
End If
If niin is a Text field:
strSQL2 = "SELECT tbl_ael_parts.master_ael_id INNER JOIN tbl_ael_parts ON
tbl_master_niin.master_niin_id = tbl_ael_parts.master_niin_id WHERE (((tbl_ael_parts.master_ael_id)=
" & Forms!frm_qry_niin_local!master_ael_id & ") AND (niin='" & newdata & "'));"
If both niin and master_ael_id are Text fields:
strSQL2 = "SELECT tbl_ael_parts.master_ael_id INNER JOIN tbl_ael_parts ON
tbl_master_niin.master_niin_id = tbl_ael_parts.master_niin_id WHERE (((tbl_ael_parts.master_ael_id)=
'" & Forms!frm_qry_niin_local!master_ael_id & "') AND (niin='" & newdata & "'));"
I created an Access database which I want to distribute to a small group. While I can always export the tables in excel and merge them/append data there, is there a way to sync the databases, maybe by using VBA?
To expound further, in one form in the database application, a sync button may exist, and onclick, a dialog box may open to look for the accdb to sync with. What ensues is that the VBA will "sync" the table (which of course is of the same structure) in question between the two accdbs.
Is this possible? Insights will be good. Thank you!
Yes, it is perfectly possible. Here are some notes on comparing two DBs and logging changes.
The procedure requires the following at the top of the module:
Dim strFileNew As String
Dim strFileOld As String
Dim strLog As String
Dim dbOld As Database
The variables might contain:
strLog = "log.txt"
strFileNew = "z:\docs\dbNew.mdb"
strFileOld = "z:\docs\dbOld.mdb"
Set dbOld = OpenDatabase(strFileOld)
Then the comparison:
