I have a list of users (as string variable) and want to use it as the criteria (one user at a time) for my SQL to pick the first item's code. So I put a SQL query as a string to run it later in the code.
I've tried this:
strSQL = "SELECT TOP 1 Item.Code FROM Item WHERE Item.User = '"
strSQL = strSQL & strUserName & "' ORDER BY ID DESC"
If the strUserName = "A-user" for example, I only get this SQL string, according to "Quick Watch...":
SELECT TOP 1 Item.Code FROM Item WHERE Item.User = 'A-user
The part with "' ORDER BY ID DESC" isn't included in the SQL string at all!
And for running the SQL query by using "Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)", I get this error:
Run-time error '3075':
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Item.User = "A-user"
How can I fix that?
I don't see how your code triggers that 3075 error. However I would use a parameter query instead. That way you can avoid problems with quoted values in your SQL statement.
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSelect As String
Dim strUserName As String
strUserName = "A-user"
strSelect = "SELECT TOP 1 i.Code FROM [Item] AS i WHERE i.User = [which_user] ORDER BY i.ID DESC"
Set qdf = CurrentDb.CreateQueryDef(vbNullString, strSelect)
qdf.Parameters("which_user").Value = strUserName
Set rs = qdf.OpenRecordset
Access sometimes complains about the use of single-quotes. And also add a semi-colon to the end of the statement. Try changing the code to this (where double-quotes are escaped with an extra double-quote:
strSQL = "SELECT TOP 1 Item.Code FROM Item WHERE Item.User = "
strSQL = strSQL & """" & strUserName & """" & " ORDER BY ID DESC;"

I have a SQL string in a set of code in VBA for Access. The code is:
Private Sub Command40_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
strSQL = "Delete * From TEMP_AssignSequence"
Set db = CurrentDb()
db.Execute strSQL
Call ResetSeed("TEMP_AssignSequence")
strSQL = "PARAMETERS [Forms]![JobQuote]![JobID] Short;"
strSQL = "INSERT INTO TEMP_AssignSequence ( CaptionText )"
strSQL = strSQL & " SELECT tblContractors.Contractor"
strSQL = strSQL & " FROM tblContractors INNER JOIN tblContractorJob ON tblContractors.ContractorID = tblContractorJob.ContractorID"
strSQL = strSQL & " WHERE (((tblContractorJob.JobID)=[Forms]![JobQuote]![JobID]))"
strSQL = strSQL & " GROUP BY tblContractors.Contractor"
strSQL = strSQL & " Order By tblContractors.Contractor;"
db.Execute strSQL
End Sub
When I build the query in the design window, it outputs the same exact string. However, when I try to run this code, I get the error 3061: Too few parameters. Expected 1
I am a little confused since this runs perfectly when in a query, but wont run via VBA as a string. I assume I am handling my WHERE incorrectly as far as VBA is concerned?
You're executing through DAO, which does not support form-based parameters. If you want to use form-based parameters, you can only execute through DoCmd.RunSQL:
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
Alternately, you could use a querydef to add parameters.
See How do I use parameters in VBA in the different contexts in Microsoft Access? for more on which parameters are supported in which context.
The parameter you need to concatenate:
strSQL = "INSERT INTO TEMP_AssignSequence ( CaptionText )"
strSQL = strSQL & " SELECT tblContractors.Contractor"
strSQL = strSQL & " FROM tblContractors INNER JOIN tblContractorJob ON tblContractors.ContractorID = tblContractorJob.ContractorID"
strSQL = strSQL & " WHERE (((tblContractorJob.JobID)=" & [Forms]![JobQuote]![JobID] & "))"
I have a new database to help produce documents for order processing.
I have a query set up with only one column of results (Product Codes) determined by the order selected on the main form.
I need to be able to use this information to name my file aka
(Customer) (Product1)+(Product2)+(Product....) (Location)
I have the code to generate the line (Customer) (Product1) (Location) and am trying to get either a concatenate function or a loop function or something to get all the products to line up with a "+" in between each "line".
I have a query (Query1) set up to give me the exact data I need...
SELECT tblREF_Chemical.Abbr
FROM qry_AX_LineItems_DISTINCT INNER JOIN tblREF_Chemical ON
qry_AX_LineItems_DISTINCT.ItemId = tblREF_Chemical.[Item Number]
GROUP BY tblREF_Chemical.Abbr, qry_AX_LineItems_DISTINCT.SALESID,
tblREF_Chemical.[Proper Shipping Name]
HAVING (((qry_AX_LineItems_DISTINCT.SALESID)=[Forms]![frm_SalesOrderEntry]!
[Combo617]) AND ((tblREF_Chemical.[Proper Shipping Name]) Is Not Null));
I have a button set up on my main form to test the data output and then I intend to add the code to my code for DoCmd.Output file name.
So far the only code that has worked is...
Private Sub Command1492_Click()
Dim i As Integer
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim SQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb
SL = [Forms]![frm_SalesOrderEntry]![Combo617]
SQL = "SELECT * FROM ALL_SalesOrderItemsLineDates WHERE
ALL_SalesOrderItemsLineDates.SALESID = '" & SL & "';"
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(SQL)
For i = 0 To DCount("*", "ALL_SalesOrderItemsLineDates",
"ALL_SalesOrderItemsLineDates.SALESID = '" & [Forms]![frm_SalesOrderEntry]!
[Combo617] & "'") - 1
Debug.Print DLookup("[Abbr]", "[tblREF_Chemical]", "[Item Number]= '" &
rst.Fields("ItemID") & "'")
rst.MoveNext
Next i
rst.Close
End Sub
I can't seem to add additional where statements within this code or use my actual query or the system presents errors at the db.OpenRecordset line of code (Errors 3061 and 3078).
Even ignoring those problems the output is multi-line and I need it to be used in a single string of text for the document name.
UPDATE1:
I am working with the code to use my query directly...
Dim i As Integer
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim SQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb
SL = [Forms]![frm_SalesOrderEntry]![Combo617]
SQL = "SELECT tblREF_Chemical.Abbr "
SQL = SQL & "FROM qry_AX_LineItems_DISTINCT INNER JOIN tblREF_Chemical ON qry_AX_LineItems_DISTINCT.ItemId = tblREF_Chemical.[Item Number] "
SQL = SQL & "GROUP BY tblREF_Chemical.Abbr, qry_AX_LineItems_DISTINCT.SALESID, tblREF_Chemical.[Proper Shipping Name] "
SQL = SQL & "HAVING ((qry_AX_LineItems_DISTINCT.SALESID)='" & SL & "'"
SQL = SQL & "AND ((tblREF_Chemical.[Proper Shipping Name]) Is Not Null)); "
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(SQL)
Dim s As String
Do While rst(0) Is Not Null
s = s & "+" & rst(0)
rst.MoveNext
Loop
rst.Close
Debug.Print s
Unfortunately I'm now getting a run-time error 3061 - Too few parameters. Expected 1.
I have double checked my spellings and ran the query just to be sure and no matter how many results the query is getting (functioning as expected) I am still getting this error.
UPDATE2:
Through more research I learned that queries can have, for lack of better words, invisible coding. I am updating my code to remove the inner query from my query to simplify the amount of "research" my VBA has to do.
Private Sub Command1492_Click()
Dim i As Integer
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim SQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb
SL = [Forms]![frm_SalesOrderEntry]![Combo617]
SQL = "SELECT tblREF_Chemical.Abbr "
SQL = SQL & "FROM ALL_SalesOrderItemsLineDates INNER JOIN tblREF_Chemical ON ALL_SalesOrderItemsLineDates.ItemId = tblREF_Chemical.[Item Number] "
SQL = SQL & "GROUP BY tblREF_Chemical.Abbr, ALL_SalesOrderItemsLineDates.SALESID, tblREF_Chemical.[Proper Shipping Name]"
SQL = SQL & "HAVING ((ALL_SalesOrderItemsLineDates.SALESID)='" & SL & "'"
SQL = SQL & "AND ((tblREF_Chemical.[Proper Shipping Name]) Is Not Null)); "
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(SQL)
Dim s As String
Do While rst(0) Is Not Null 'Debug error here!
s = s & "+" & rst(0)
rst.MoveNext
Loop
rst.Close
Debug.Print s
End Sub
Unfortunately I'm still getting a run-time error, but now it is 424 Object required and the debug takes me to the "Do While" line.
I think this is a step forward, but still a little stuck.
Update3:
Since the debug was taking me to the "Do While" line I returned to my functioning code and replaced the loop function with an integer based code.
Thank you #Harassed Dad! Your code was a giant help! Using your idea for a string rather than going straight to a debug.print was genius.
The below replaces my code starting where I was having issues.
Dim s As String
For i = 0 To DCount("*", "ALL_SalesOrderItemsLineDates", "ALL_SalesOrderItemsLineDates.SALESID = '" & SL & "'") - 1
s = s & "+" & rst.Fields("Abbr")
rst.MoveNext
Next i
rst.Close
Debug.Print s
My results are displaying with only one hiccup.
+CHA+DEEA+EEP+MEC+PERC+PM+PROP
There is an extra "+" at the beginning, but I'm sure I can find the solution to this tiny problem.
I hope these notes can help someone in the future. Thank you all for your help!

Your main issue is a missing space before the AND in HAVING clause.
For this very reason of readability and maintainability, consider using QueryDefs for parameterized queries (an industry best practice) to run your saved query in VBA for several reasons:
You avoid the need to concatenate or enclose quotes or escape literals by effectively divorcing SQL code from VBA (application layer) code.
MS Access will not allow you to save a query with syntax issues but VBA string queries can have such issues found at runtime.
MS Access's engine compiles and caches saved queries to best execution plan which especially helps for aggregate queries with joins. This is why saved queries are usually more efficient than VBA string queries run on the fly.
SQL (save below as a saved query)
Query now uses table aliases and HAVING conditions are moved to WHERE since no aggregate is being used.
PARAMETERS idparam LONG;
SELECT t.Abbr
FROM qry_AX_LineItems_DISTINCT q
INNER JOIN tblREF_Chemical t ON q.ItemId = t.[Item Number]
WHERE (((q.SALESID) = [idparam])
AND ((t.[Proper Shipping Name]) Is Not Null))
GROUP BY t.Abbr, q.SALESID, t.[Proper Shipping Name];
VBA
Dim db As DAO.Database, qdef AS DAO.QueryDef, rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim SQL As String, s As String
Set db = CurrentDb
' INITIALIZE SAVED QUERY
Set qdef = db.QueryDefs("mySavedQuery")
' BIND PARAMETER
qdef![idparam] = [Forms]![frm_SalesOrderEntry]![Combo617]
' OPEN RECORDSET
Set rst = qdef.OpenRecordset()
Do While rst(0) Is Not Null
s = s & "+" & rst(0)
rst.MoveNext
Loop
rst.Close
Debug.Print s
Set rst = Nothing: Set qdef = Nothing: Set db = Nothing
I'm working on creating a dynamic pass-through query and in order to do so I first need to query my local db and get an ID.
This ID is what I will put into my pass-through query for my WHERE clause of the query.
My string:
getCorpID = "SELECT corpID " & _
"FROM dbo_corp " & _
"WHERE name = " & Forms.frmMain.Combo4.Value
I'm then trying to do something akin to:
CorpID (integer) = docmd.runsql (getCorpID)
I realize, however that docmd runsql doesn't work with select statements, or return a value even. What can I use to run my string
getCorpId
as sql and store the result (It will only be one result, every time.. one number) in my variable CorpID
Thank you.
Consider about using Recordset :
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rsSQL As DAO.Recordset
Dim getCorpID As String
Dim CorpID
Set dbs = CurrentDb
getCorpID = "SELECT corpID " & _
"FROM dbo_corp " & _
"WHERE name = " & Forms.frmMain.Combo4.Value
Set rsSQL = dbs.OpenRecordset(getCorpID , dbOpenSnapshot)
rsSQL.MoveFirst
CorpID = rsSQL.Fields("corpID")
I have a Database that we use to create Bills of Materials from Tags in AutoCAD. Because of the nature of this, I need to create 3 separate queries. One for our "Steel", one for our
"Non-Steel", and one for our "Uncut Tubes".
The SQL for the Queries is as follows:
Steel:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Sum([CUT-LENGTH-WEIGHT]) AS [SumOfCUT-LENGTH-WEIGHT], Sum([CUT-SHEET-WEIGHT]) AS [SumOfCUT-SHEET-WEIGHT], Sum([TOTAL-SHEETING-WEIGHT]) AS [SumOfTOTAL-SHEETING-WEIGHT], Sum([TOTAL-ITEM-WEIGHT]) AS [SumOfTOTAL-ITEM-WEIGHT]
FROM [13-1302 Cut-Lengths];
Non-Steel:
SELECT tbl2013BOM.fJobID, Sum(tbl2013BOM.fWeight) AS SumOffWeight
FROM tbl2013BOM
GROUP BY tbl2013BOM.fJobID
HAVING (((tbl2013BOM.fJobID)=23));
Uncut Tubes:
SELECT DISTINCT [13-1302 Cut-Lengths].[TOTAL-LENGTH-WEIGHT], [13-1302 Cut-Lengths].MATERIAL, [13-1302 Cut-Lengths].ORDER
FROM [13-1302 Cut-Lengths]
ORDER BY [13-1302 Cut-Lengths].ORDER;
I have a ComboBox that chooses the Job Number (For Main and Uncut Tubes, e.g. 13-1302) and a Textbox that displays the JobID (For Non-Steel).
Is there a way that I can set up the SQL shown above to look at the ComboBox and TextBox Values, instead of me having to change them by hand?
EDIT
I figured it all out now. (Thank you Elias)
Basically, I cannot use a Field on a table as a RecordSource in SQL, in other words, Combo26 cannot be the Table in an SQL Query. HOWEVER, what CAN be done is to use VBA to inject that value into an SQL Definition, then use that definition as a Recordsource.
I will place the code for my Button below so anyone can use it and reference it:
Private Sub Command27_Click()
Dim dbs As Database
Dim rstSQL As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strSQL2 As String
Dim strSQL3 As String
Dim Field As String
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Field = [Forms]![frmBOM_Combined]![Text26].[Value]
strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCTROW Sum([CUT-LENGTH-WEIGHT]) AS [SumOfCUT-LENGTH-WEIGHT], Sum([TOTAL-SHEETING-WEIGHT]) AS [SumOfTOTAL-SHEETING-WEIGHT], Sum([TOTAL-ITEM-WEIGHT]) AS [SumOfTOTAL-ITEM-WEIGHT] FROM " & "[" & [Forms]![frmBOM_Combined]![Text26].[Value] & "]" & ";"
strSQL2 = "SELECT tbl2013BOM.fJobID, Sum(tbl2013BOM.fWeight) AS SumOffWeight FROM tbl2013BOM GROUP BY tbl2013BOM.fJobID HAVING (((tbl2013BOM.fJobID)= " & [Forms]![frmBOM_Combined]![Combo25].[Value] & "));"
strSQL3 = "SELECT DISTINCT [TOTAL-LENGTH-WEIGHT], [MATERIAL], [ORDER] FROM " & "[" & [Forms]![frmBOM_Combined]![Text26].[Value] & "]" & " ORDER BY [ORDER];"
Debug.Print strSQL
Debug.Print strSQL2
Debug.Print strSQL3
DoCmd.OpenForm ("frmEstWeight")
Forms!frmEstWeight.RecordSource = strSQL
Forms!frmEstWeight.frmTestBomWeight.Form.RecordSource = strSQL2
Forms!frmEstWeight.frmTotalLengthWeight.Form.RecordSource = strSQL3
End Sub
This is working exactly as it should with no errors or anything.
This is within a form correct?
If so, replace the manual values you put in with
REST OF THE QUERY HERE " & Me!Controlname.value & " REST OF THE QUERY HERE
and if you are using something with a control source then just reset the control source value.
me!ControlWithResult.control source = "SELECT tbl2013BOM.fJobID, Sum (tbl2013BOM.fWeight) AS SumOffWeight
FROM tbl2013BOM
GROUP BY tbl2013BOM.fJobID
HAVING (((tbl2013BOM.fJobID)=" & me!controlname.value & "));"
For Non-Steel try:
On the VBA for the popup form
me!Combo25.rowsource = "SELECT tbl2013BOM.fJobID, Sum(tbl2013BOM.fWeight) AS SumOffWeight
FROM tbl2013BOM
GROUP BY tbl2013BOM.fJobID
HAVING (((tbl2013BOM.fJobID)=" & forms!MAINFORMNAME! &"));
My code so far is this. The last line gives me a compile error: "expected end of statement".
Dim strSql As String
Dim groupId As String
strSql = "Select ID from RevenueGroup where description = '" & ListO.Value & "'"
groupId = CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strSql
You are looking at something kinda like this
Dim strSql As String
Dim groupId As String
strSql = "Select ID from RevenueGroup where description = '" & ListO.Value & "'"
Dim rec As Recordset
set rec= CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strSql
groupId = rec(0)
You need to set the results of the query to a recordset and then pull the first value from its results. Without all the defined variable, I cannot get this to fully compile but this should be a good template to start from.
