visual basic like error - sql

Private Sub txtmid_Change()
On Error Resume Next
Mmid = txtmid.Text
Adodc1.RecordSource = "select * from members where txtmid like '" & Mmid & "'"
Adodc1.Refresh
Mname = Adodc1.Recordset.Fields("Mname").Value
Expiryd = Adodc1.Recordset.Fields("Expiryd").Value
txtname.Text = Mname
txtedate(1).Text = Format(Expiryd, "dd / mm / yyyy")
End Sub
I am getting FROM clause error. Please help me to resolve this error. Thank you.

Try this:
First of all, remove On Error Resume Next, because it's dangerous (you should use a very error handler, instead).
Adodc1.RecordSource = "select * from members where Mmid = '" & Mmid & "'"
Note: anyway, for fields of TEXT type, you should use always Replace$() to 'double quote' to avoid mistake when string values contains a single quote. Example:
Dim sql As String
Dim sSearch As String
sSearch = "You are 'magic' developer"
sql = "SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Note = '" & Replace$(sSearch, "'", "''") & "'"
Otherwise, in this case, if you use (wrongly):
sql = "SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Note = '" & sSearch & "'"
You will get a error.

Adding SQL to VBA in Access

I have the following SQL code:
SELECT GrantInformation.GrantRefNumber, GrantInformation.GrantTitle, GrantInformation.StatusGeneral, GrantSummary.Summary
FROM GrantInformation LEFT JOIN GrantSummary ON GrantInformation.GrantRefNumber = GrantSummary.GrantRefNumber
WHERE (((GrantInformation.LeadJointFunder) = "Global Challenges Research Fund")) Or (((GrantInformation.Call) = "AMR large collab"))
GROUP BY GrantInformation.GrantRefNumber, GrantInformation.GrantTitle, GrantInformation.StatusGeneral, GrantSummary.Summary
HAVING (((GrantSummary.Summary) Like ""*" & strsearch & "*"")) OR (((GrantSummary.Summary) Like ""*" & strsearch & "*""));
Which I want to insert into the following VBA:
Private Sub Command12_Click()
strsearch = Me.Text13.Value
Task =
Me.RecordSource = Task
End Sub
After 'Task ='.
However it keeps on returning a compile error, expects end of statement and half the SQL is in red. I have tried adding ' & _' to the end of each line but it still will not compile.
Any suggestions where I am going wrong? Many thanks
You have to put the SQL into a string...
Dim sql As String
sql = "SELECT blah FROM blah;"
Note that this means you have to insert all of the values and double up quotes:
sql = "SELECT blah "
sql = sql & " FROM blah "
sql = sql & " WHERE blah = ""some value"" "
sql = sql & " AND blah = """ & someVariable & """;"
After that, you have to do something with it. For SELECTs, open a recordset:
Dim rs AS DAO.Recordset
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sql)
Or, for action queries, execute them:
CurrentDb.Execute sql, dbFailOnError
Without knowing how you plan to use it, we can't give much more info than that.
This conversion tool would be quite helpful for automating the process: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-71.html
I suggest to use single quotes inside your SQL string to not mess up the double quotes forming the string.
In my opinion it's a lot better readable than doubled double quotes.
Simplified:
Dim S As String
S = "SELECT foo FROM bar " & _
"WHERE foo = 'Global Challenges Research Fund' " & _
"HAVING (Summary Like '*" & strsearch & "*')"
Note the spaces at the end of each line.
Obligatory reading: How to debug dynamic SQL in VBA
Edit
To simplify handling user entry, I use
' Make a string safe to use in Sql: a'string --> 'a''string'
Public Function Sqlify(ByVal S As String) As String
S = Replace(S, "'", "''")
S = "'" & S & "'"
Sqlify = S
End Function
then it's
"HAVING (Summary Like " & Sqlify("*" & strsearch & "*") & ")"

Run Time error 3061 Too Few parameters. Expected 6. Unable to update table from listbox

All,
I am running the below SQL and I keep getting error 3061. Thank you all for the wonderful help! I've been trying to teach myself and I am 10 days in and oh my I am in for a treat!
Private Sub b_Update_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = CurrentDb
strSQL = "UPDATE Main" _
& " SET t_Name = Me.txt_Name, t_Date = Me.txt_Date, t_ContactID = Me.txt_Contact, t_Score = Me.txt_Score, t_Comments = Me.txt_Comments" _
& " WHERE RecordID = Me.lbl_RecordID.Caption"
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL
I am not sure but, you can try somethink like that
if you knom the new value to insert in the database try with a syntax like this one
UPDATE table
SET Users.name = 'NewName',
Users.address = 'MyNewAdresse'
WHERE Users.id_User = 10;
Now, if you want to use a form (php)
You have to use this
if(isset($_REQUEST["id_user" ])) {$id_user = $_REQUEST["id_user" ];}
else {$id_user = "" ;}
if(isset($_REQUEST["name" ])) {$name= $_REQUEST["name" ];}
else {$name = "" ;}
if(isset($_REQUEST["address" ])) {$address= $_REQUEST["adress" ];}
else {$adress= "" ;}
if you use mysql
UPDATE table
SET Users.name = '$name',
Users.address = '$adress'
WHERE Users.id_User = 10;
i don't know VBA but I will try to help you
Going on from my comment, you first need to declare strSQL as a string variable.
Where your error expects 6 values and access doesn't know what they are. This is because form objects need to be outside the quotations of the SQL query, otherwise (as in this case) it will think they are variables and obviously undefined. The 6 expected are the 5 form fields plus 'strSQL'.
Private Sub b_Update_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
dim strSQL as string
Set db = CurrentDb
strSQL = "UPDATE Main" & _
" SET t_Name = '" & Me.txt_Name & "'," & _
" t_Date =#" & Me.txt_Date & "#," & _
" t_ContactID =" & Me.txt_Contact & "," & _
" t_Score =" & Me.txt_Score & "," & _
" t_Comments = '" & Me.txt_Comments & "'," & _
" WHERE RecordID = '" & Me.lbl_RecordID.Caption & "';"
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL
end sub
Note how I have used double quotes to put the form fields outside of the query string so access knows they aren't variables.
If your field is a string, it needs encapsulating in single quotes like so 'string'. If you have a date field it needs encapsulating in number signs like so #date# and numbers/integers don't need encapsulating.
Look at the code I have done and you can see I have used these single quotes and number signs to encapsulate certain fields. I guessed based on the names of the fields like ID's as numbers. I may have got some wrong so alter where applicable... Or comment and I will correct my answer.

SQL Variable in Where Clause

Dim varCity As String
varCity = Me.txtDestinationCity
Me.txtDestinationState.RowSource = "SELECT tPreTravelDestinationState FROM [TDestinationType] WHERE" & Me.txtDestinationCity & "= [TDestinationType].[tPreTravelDestinationCity]"
I am trying to select the states for the selected city. There is a drop down box with a list of cities. That box is titled txtDestinationCity.
It says I have an error in my FROM clause.
Thank you
You miss a space and some quotes. How about:
Me.txtDestinationState.RowSource = "SELECT tPreTravelDestinationState FROM [TDestinationType] WHERE '" & Me.txtDestinationCity & "' = [TDestinationType].[tPreTravelDestinationCity]"
Copy that next to your original to see the difference.
And for reasons SQL, PLEASE reverse the comparison. Always mention the column left and the value right:
Me.txtDestinationState.RowSource = "SELECT tPreTravelDestinationState FROM [TDestinationType] WHERE [TDestinationType].[tPreTravelDestinationCity] = '" & Me.txtDestinationCity & "'"
Since the quotes are annoying and easy to miss, i suggest defining a function like this:
Public Function q(ByVal s As String) As String
q = "'" & s & "'"
End Function
and then write the SQL string like that:
Me.txtDestinationState.RowSource = "SELECT tPreTravelDestinationState FROM [TDestinationType] WHERE [TDestinationType].[tPreTravelDestinationCity] = " & q(Me.txtDestinationCity)
This makes sure you ALWAYS get both quotes at the right places and not get confused by double-single-double quote sequences.
If you care about SQL-injection (yes, look that up), please use the minimum
Public Function escapeSQL(sql As String) As String
escapeSQL = Replace(sql, "'", "''")
End Function
and use it in all places where you concatenate user-input to SQL-clauses, like this:
Me.txtDestinationState.RowSource = "SELECT tPreTravelDestinationState FROM [TDestinationType] WHERE [TDestinationType].[tPreTravelDestinationCity] = " & q(escapeSQL(Me.txtDestinationCity))
Lastly, breakt it for readability. I doubt your editor shows 200 characters wide:
Me.txtDestinationState.RowSource = _
"SELECT tPreTravelDestinationState " & _
"FROM [TDestinationType] " & _
"WHERE [TDestinationType].[tPreTravelDestinationCity] = " & q(escapeSQL(Me.txtDestinationCity))
Note the trailing spaces in each line! Without them, the concatenation will not work.
It can be easier to troubleshoot your query construction if you set it to a variable (e.g., strSQL) first. Then you can put a breakpoint and see it right before it executes.
You need a space after WHERE. Change WHERE" to WHERE<space>"
Me.txtDestinationState.RowSource = "SELECT tPreTravelDestinationState FROM [TDestinationType] WHERE " & Me.txtDestinationCity & "= [TDestinationType].[tPreTravelDestinationCity]"

Access VBA SQL Run-time error 3134 INSERT INTO

I have a VBA code for an Access 2013, and i want to run INSERT INTO, but when i try to run it, it keeps drop the messeage "Run-time error 3134 Syntax error in 'INSERT INTO'".
There is my code:
Private Sub Parancsgomb35_Click()
Set valamiami = Me.Szöveg29
Dim neveteke As String
Me.KombináltLista27.SetFocus
neveteke = Me.KombináltLista27.Value
Set db_number = Me.Szöveg15
Dim sql_cucc As String
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT sarzsszám, cikkszam, me, afa, behozatali, netto FROM torzslapok WHERE neve='" & neveteke & "'")
While Not rs.EOF
Set afaka = rs.Fields("afa")
Set sarzsszamka = rs.Fields("sarzsszám")
Set mennka = rs.Fields("me")
Set cikkszamka = rs.Fields("cikkszam")
Set behozatalika = rs.Fields("behozatali")
Set nettoka = rs.Fields("netto")
sql_cucc = "INSERT INTO BE-ALPHAVET(neve, afa, behozatali, netto, db, sarzsszám, cikkszam, me) VALUES('" & neveteke & "','" & afaka & "','" & behozatalika & "','" & nettoka & "','" & db_number & "','" & sarzsszamka & "','" & cikkszamka & "','" & mennka & "');"
CurrentDb.Execute sql_cucc
Wend
End Sub
valamiami = DATE like yyyy.mm.dd
neveteke = STRING
KombináltLista27 = STRING (COMBINE LIST with ine select only)
db_number = INTERGER
sql_cucc = STRING
afaka = INTEGER
sarzsszamka = STRING
mennka = STRING
cikkszamka = STRING
behozatalika = INTEGER
nettoka = INTEGER
I read a lot of forum, but a didn't find any answer..
Can somebody explain for me what is the problem?
Thanks and love!
Your INSERT starts as:
INSERT INTO BE-ALPHAVET(neve, afa, behozatali, netto, db,
sarzsszám, cikkszam, me)
The - is interpreted as a minus sign. You need to escape the table name:
INSERT INTO [BE-ALPHAVET](neve, afa, behozatali, netto, db,
sarzsszám, cikkszam, me)
Or, better yet, change it to an underscore (_) so you don't have to escape the name at all.

Incorrect syntax near 's'. Unclosed quotation mark after the character string

I'm using a query to pull data from an SQL database, at times the last dropdown im using to get the record i'm looking for has a single quote, when it does I get the following error: Incorrect syntax near 's'. Unclosed quotation mark after the character string
This is the code I have:
Using objcommand As New SqlCommand("", G3SqlConnection)
Dim DS01 As String = DDLDS01.SelectedItem.Text
Dim State As String = DDLState.SelectedItem.Text
Dim Council As String = DDLCouncil.SelectedItem.Text
Dim Local As String = DDLLocal.SelectedItem.Text
Dim objParam As SqlParameter
Dim objDataReader As SqlDataReader
Dim strSelect As String = "SELECT * " & _
"FROM ConstitutionsDAT " & _
"WHERE DS01 = '" & DS01 & "' AND STATE = '" & State & "' AND COUNCIL = '" & Council & "' AND LOCAL = '" & Local & "' AND JURISDICTION = '" & DDLJurisdiction.SelectedItem.Text & "' "
strSelect.ToString.Replace("'", "''")
objcommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
objcommand.CommandText = strSelect
Try
objDataReader = objcommand.ExecuteReader
DDLJurisdiction.Items.Add("")
While objDataReader.Read()
If Not IsDBNull(objDataReader("SUBUNIT")) Then
txtSubUnit.Text = (objDataReader("SUBUNIT"))
End If
If Not IsDBNull(objDataReader("DS02")) Then
lblDS02.Text = (objDataReader("DS02"))
End If
If Not IsDBNull(objDataReader("LEGISLATIVE_DISTRICT")) Then
txtALD.Text = (objDataReader("LEGISLATIVE_DISTRICT"))
End If
If Not IsDBNull(objDataReader("REGION")) Then
txtRegion.Text = (objDataReader("REGION"))
End If
If DDLState.SelectedItem.Text <> "OTHER" Then
If Not IsDBNull(objDataReader("UNIT_CODE")) Then
txtUnitCode.Text = (objDataReader("UNIT_CODE"))
End If
End If
End While
objDataReader.Close()
Catch objError As Exception
OutError.Text = "Error: " & objError.Message & objError.Source
Exit Sub
End Try
End Using
Not all records contain a single quote, only some, so i'd need something that would work if a single quote is present or not.
Thanks.
Your problem is this line here:
strSelect.ToString.Replace("'", "''")
This is changing your WHERE clause from something like
WHERE DS01 = 'asdf' AND ...
To:
WHERE DS01 = ''asdf'' AND ...
You need to do the replace on the individual values in the where clause, not on the whole select statement.
What you should really be doing is using a parameterized query instead.
Update: added same link as aquinas because it's a good link
Use parameterized queries, and only EVER use parameterized queries. See: How do I create a parameterized SQL query? Why Should I?
