I have an Access 2010 database that has links to several ODBC tables. My username and password were cached when I first linked the tables, so I don't have to re-enter my Login ID and Password everytime I run a query - except on one. I have 20+ queries that are working just fine without having to relogin.
My SQL is below. Is there something intrinsically off in the code, or is it another issue?
SELECT DISTINCT IIf(IsNull([LeftSide]![ContactID]),"",CStr([LeftSide]![ContactID])) AS LeftSideContactID, IIf(IsNull([rightSide]![ContactID]),"",CStr([rightSide]![ContactID])) AS RightSideContactID, [RightSide]![Pref] & " & " & [LeftSide]![Pref] AS [Combined Prefix], [RightSide]![FName] & " & " & [LeftSide]![FName] AS [Combined FName], IIf([RightSide]![LName]=[LeftSide]![LName],[RightSide]![LName],[RightSide]![LName] & " & " & [LeftSide]![LName]) AS [Combined LName], [RightSide]![Pref] & " " & [RightSide]![FName] & " " & [RightSide]![LName] & " & " & [LeftSide]![Pref] & " " & [LeftSide]![FName] & " " & [LeftSide]![LName] AS [Combined Mailing Name]
FROM (([Contacts In Query (username)] AS LeftSide INNER JOIN ContactContact ON LeftSide.ContactID = ContactContact.Contact1ID) INNER JOIN [Contacts In Query (username)] AS RightSide ON ContactContact.Contact2ID = RightSide.ContactID) INNER JOIN Relationship ON ContactContact.RelationshipID = Relationship.RelationshipID
WHERE (((Relationship.Relationship) Like "*spouse*"));
[Contacts In Query (username)] is a flat table in Access, the others (Relationship and ContactContact) are linked from an external database.
I've got a workaround - oddly, as soon as I changed the joins from INNER JOIN to LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN, it worked without requiring a login. I then had to use a couple of criteria to approximate an inner join by filtering out results where there wasn't an exact match.
SELECT DISTINCT IIf(IsNull([LeftSide]![ContactID]),"",CStr([LeftSide]![ContactID])) AS LeftSideContactID, IIf(IsNull([rightSide]![ContactID]),"",CStr([rightSide]![ContactID])) AS RightSideContactID, [RightSide]![Pref] & " & " & [LeftSide]![Pref] AS [Combined Prefix], [RightSide]![FName] & " & " & [LeftSide]![FName] AS [Combined FName], IIf([RightSide]![LName]=[LeftSide]![LName],[RightSide]![LName],[RightSide]![LName] & " & " & [LeftSide]![LName]) AS [Combined LName], [RightSide]![Pref] & " " & [RightSide]![FName] & " " & [RightSide]![LName] & " & " & [LeftSide]![Pref] & " " & [LeftSide]![FName] & " " & [LeftSide]![LName] AS [Combined Mailing Name]
FROM (([Contacts In Query (username)] AS LeftSide RIGHT JOIN ContactContact ON LeftSide.ContactID = ContactContact.Contact1ID) LEFT JOIN [Contacts In Query (username)] AS RightSide ON ContactContact.Contact2ID = RightSide.ContactID) INNER JOIN Relationship ON ContactContact.RelationshipID = Relationship.RelationshipID
WHERE (((IIf(IsNull([LeftSide]![ContactID]),"",CStr([LeftSide]![ContactID])))<>"") AND ((IIf(IsNull([rightSide]![ContactID]),"",CStr([rightSide]![ContactID])))<>"") AND ((Relationship.Relationship) Like "*spouse*"));
Hopefully this will help anyone who's come up against the same issue, but if anyone could shed some light on why this is happening, and why this fix works, I'd greatly appreciate it.
It sounds like there may be some database corruption in one of the hidden system tables. Have you tried importing the objects into a new Access database, and then run the original query? Corrupted objects won't import successfully.

I need to retrieve data from 3 different CSV files (Adres.CSV, ID.CSV and Regios.CSV) and combine this in an Excel table.
This SQL statement works fine,
StrSQL = "SELECT ID.[ID], Adres.[Naam], Adres.[Adres], Adres.[Plaats] " _
& "FROM Adres.CSV Adres INNER JOIN ID.CSV ID ON Adres.[Naam] = ID.[Naam];"
as well as
StrSQL = "SELECT Adres.[Naam], Adres.[Adres], Adres.[Plaats], Regio.[Regio] " _
& "FROM Adres.CSV Adres INNER JOIN Regios.CSV Regio ON Adres.[Plaats] = Regio.[Plaats];"
but when I combine them to
StrSQL = "SELECT ID.[ID], Adres.[Naam], Adres.[Adres], Adres.[Plaats], Regio.[Regio] " _
& "FROM Adres.CSV Adres " _
& "INNER JOIN Regios.CSV Regio ON Adres.[Plaats] = Regio.[Plaats]" _
& "INNER JOIN ID.CSV ID ON Adres.[Naam] = ID.[Naam];"
I get an error message that an operator is missing.
What am I overlooking?
There are two issues here:
You are missing a space between the 3rd and 4th lines.
JET/ACE SQL requires you to use parentheses when doing multiple joins.
This should fix the sql error you are seeing:
StrSQL = "SELECT ID.[ID], Adres.[Naam], Adres.[Adres], Adres.[Plaats], Regio.[Regio] " _
& "FROM (Adres.CSV Adres " _
& "INNER JOIN Regios.CSV Regio ON Adres.[Plaats] = Regio.[Plaats]) " _
& "INNER JOIN ID.CSV ID ON Adres.[Naam] = ID.[Naam];"
Your string ends up evaluating with ...Regio.[Plaats]INNER JOIN ID.CSV.... This lack of white space causes the sql parser to miss your second INNER JOIN .
I am working with a legacy application that was written in vb 6. In the code there is an embedded sql query. I am trying to make a left join on another database. using the following select statement:
SQL = "select h.case_ref, t.t5_desc, h.narisno, h.valuation_ref, h.claimant, h.t5," & _
" h.claim_amount, h.claim_date , h.dateofentry, h.case_completed, l.project_short_name AS narisno_desc, h.case_type "
If blnFromCaseRefSelection = True Then
SQL = SQL & " from case_header h left join lut_t5 t on h.t5 = t.t5 left join" & _
" [production].[dbo].[xxx_01_project_attributes] l on h.nno = l.pin where h.case_ref = '" & cboCaseRef.Text & "'"
Else
SQL = SQL & " from lut_fileref f, case_header h left join lut_t5 t on h.t5 = t.t5" & _
" left join lut_nno n on h.nno = n.nno Where h.case_ref = f.case_ref" & _
" and f.ha_fileref = '" & xxoHAFileRef.Text & "'"
End If

Any idea of how ui can solve this, my experience with VB 6 is basic
First this is my first post so I apologize for the layout or any other errors with presentation.
I have two tables.
tempWkEndHrs: Is created when the user selects a weekending date and their name from two comboboxs. The result is 5 fields: Name1, Task, Closed Date, Initiated Date and #xx/xx/xxxx# <--the same date as chosen by the user from the combobox to create the table. This is done to limit the number of date fields returned and built into the temp table.
The purpose of this table is so the user can populate as many values under the #xx/xx/xxxx# field/column to show/see the distribution of hours taken on tasks for that week. (its also used as a check to make sure entered values sum up as expected)
I would like to save the new values entered underfield #xx/xx/xxxx# in tempWkEndHrs to the same field #xx/xx/xxxx# in tblHrs.
tblHrs: has fields... Task , #xx/xx/xxxx#, #xx/xx/xxxx#, #xx/xx/xxxx#, #xx/xx/xxxx#, etc.. <--Same dates available within combobox.
I have having difficulty finding an example of updating multiple records from one table to another to fit my situation.
Below is my last attempt from several variations.
Dim strITEM As String
Dim strWkEnd As String
strWkEnd = Me.cmbWkEnd
strSQL = "UPDATE tblHrs SET " & _
"[" & strWkEnd & "] = [" & strWkEnd & "] " & _
"FROM tempWkEndHrs " & _
" WHERE [Task] = [Task]"
*Update 10-24-2017 5:37pm
Dim strITEM As String
Dim strWkEnd As String
strWkEnd = Me.cmbWkEnd
strSQL = "UPDATE tblHrs " & _
"SET tempWkEndHrs.[" & strWkEnd & "] = tblHrs.[" & strWkEnd & "] "& _
"FROM tempWkEndHrs " & _
" WHERE tempWkEndHrs.[Task] = tblHrs.[Task]"
Result:
UPDATE tblHrs SET tempWkEndHrs.[9/30/2017] = tblHrs.[9/30/2017] FROM tempWkEndHrs WHERE tempWkEndHrs.[TASK] = tblHrs.[TASK]
***Run-Time error '3075
***Syntax error(missing operator) in query expression 'tblHrs.[9/30/2017] FROM tempWkEndHrs'.
If this is clear as mud please let me know.

5.You don't need the FROM tblTemp clause in the SQLReplace String.
6.EDIT: As #Parfait pointed out, tblTemp does not exist in scope of the SQLReplace statement. You should do an INNER JOIN to fix that: <--AWESOME!!
strWkEnd = Me.cmbWkEnd
strSQL = "UPDATE tblHrs INNER JOIN tempWkEndHrs ON tblHrs.TASK = tempWkEndHrs.TASK SET tblHrs.[" & strWkEnd & "] = tempWkEndHrs.[" & strWkEnd & "] "
Works! >:P
I didn't receive any answers to this post so obviously I need to write better questions, I figured it was mud...Thanks for the ~21 Views ?lol.
Ive been trying to get a query I ran in Access to run in VBA but I keep getting errors due to the number of exclamation marks I've been using. The statement I am using is
SQLstat = "SELECT tbl_Date_Check.DateofChecklist, tbl_Tasks.QuestionNumber,tbl_Tasks.Frequency, tbl_Tasks.Questions " _
& "FROM tbl_Tasks, tbl_Date_Check " _
& "WHERE (((tbl_Date_Check.DateofChecklist)=""" & [Forms]![Daily_Checker]![TxtDate] & """) And ((tbl_Tasks.Frequency) = """ & [Forms]![Daily_Checker]![ComFreq]"""))"
Any help would be great thanks
This can possibly be explained by the following SO question: What is the difference between single and double quotes in SQL?
This explains that you need to utilize single quotes '' to surround text in SQL in almost every instance. The fact that you are using double quotes "" may be what is causing the error.
I hope this helps.

It must read like this for dates:
SQLstat = "SELECT tbl_Date_Check.DateofChecklist, tbl_Tasks.QuestionNumber,tbl_Tasks.Frequency, tbl_Tasks.Questions " _
& "FROM tbl_Tasks, tbl_Date_Check " _
& "WHERE ((tbl_Date_Check.DateofChecklist = #" & Format([Forms]![Daily_Checker]![TxtDate], "yyyy\/mm\/dd") & "#) And (tbl_Tasks.Frequency = " & [Forms]![Daily_Checker]![ComFreq] & "))"
I have an Access application where everytime a user enters the application, it makes a temp table for that user called 'their windows login name'_Temp. In one of my reports I need to query using that table, and I can't just make a query and set it as the recourdsource of the report, since the name of the table is always different.
What I tried then was to programatically set the recordset of the report by running the query and setting the form's recordset as the query's recordset. When I tried this, it kept giving me an error about the query.
I tried to debug, and I found that the string variable isn't able to contain the whole query at once. When I ran it with break points and added a watch for the string variable, it shows me that it cuts off the query somewhere in the middle.
I've experienced this problem before, but that was with an UPDATE query. Then, I just split it into two queries and ran both of them separately. This one is a SELECT query, and there's no way I can split it. Please help!
Thank you
Heres what I've tried doing:
ReturnUserName is a function in a module that returns just the login id of the user
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim strQuery As String
Dim user As String
user = ReturnUserName
strQuery = "SELECT " & user & "_Temp.EmpNumber, [FName] & ' ' & [LName] AS [Employee Name], " & _
"CourseName, DateCompleted, tblEmp_SuperAdmin.[Cost Centre] " & _
"FROM (tblCourse INNER JOIN (" & user & "_Temp INNER JOIN tblEmpCourses ON " & _
user & "_Temp.EmpNumber = EmpNo) ON tblCourse.CourseID = tblEmpCourses.CourseID) " & _
"INNER JOIN tblEmp_SuperAdmin ON " & user & "_Temp.EmpNumber = tblEmp_SuperAdmin.EmpNumber" & _
"WHERE (((" & user & "_Temp.EmpNumber) = [Forms]![Reports]![txtEmpID].[Text])) " & _
"ORDER BY CourseName;"
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Dim rsCmd As ADODB.Command
Set rsCmd = New ADODB.Command
rsCmd.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
rsCmd.CommandText = strQuery
rs.Open rsCmd
Me.Recordset = rs
rs.Close
End Sub
This what strQuery contains when I add a breakpoint on rsCmd.CommandText = strQuery:
SELECT myusername_Temp.EmpNumber, [FName]
& ' ' & [LName] AS [Employee Name],
CourseName, DateCompleted,
tblEmp_SuperAdmin.[Cost Centre] FROM
(tblCourse INNER JOIN (myusername_Temp
INNER JOIN tblEmpCourses ON
myusername_Temp.EmpNumber = EmpNo) ON
tblCourse.CourseID=
(It's all one line, but I've written it like this because the underscores italicize the text)
And the error I get says Run Time Error: Join not Supported.
Not quite what I was hoping for, but guessing, for:
strQuery = "long query goes here"
Try:
strQuery = "some long query goes here "
strQuery = strQuery & "more query goes here "
BASED ON NEW INFORMATION:
strQuery = "SELECT " & user & "_Temp.EmpNumber, [FName] & ' ' & [LName] AS [Employee Name], " & _
"CourseName, DateCompleted, tblEmp_SuperAdmin.[Cost Centre] " & _
"FROM (tblCourse " & _
"INNER JOIN tblEmpCourses ON tblCourse.CourseID = tblEmpCourses.CourseID) " & _
"INNER JOIN (Temp INNER JOIN tblEmp_SuperAdmin " & _
"ON Temp.EmpNumber = tblEmp_SuperAdmin.EmpNumber) " & _
"ON Temp.EmpNumber = tblEmpCourses.EmpNo " & _
"WHERE " & user & "_Temp.EmpNumber = " & [Forms]![Reports]![txtEmpID] & _
" ORDER BY CourseName;"
Note that in VBA:
& [Forms]![Reports]![txtEmpID].[Text] &
That is, the reference to the form must go outside the quotes so you get the value.
NEW INFORMATION #2
Your best bet would be to add these tables to the Access query design window and create the joins that you want, then switch to SQL view and use the string generated for you. I do not believe that the string is too long, only that the SQL is incorrect. The SQL I posted above should work, but it may not be what you want.
You can programmatically create a querydef that fits the user. So, when your report is called, you
Delete LoginName_Query_Temp (CurrentDb.QueryDefs.Delete), if it already exists.
Create the querydef (CurrentDB.CreateQueryDef), using LoginName_Temp as the table name.
Set the RecordSource of your Report to LoginName_Query_Temp.
Open the report.
I don't see what purpose the table myusername_Temp serves here. Is that where the name fields are? If so, avoid the join entirely:
Dim lngEmpNumber As Long
Dim strName As String
Dim strSQL As String
lngEmpNumber = Forms!Reports!txtEmpID
strName = DLookup("[FName] & ' ' & [LName]", "myusername_Temp", "EmpNumber=" & lngEmpNumber
strSQL = "SELECT " & Chr(34) & strName & Chr(34) & " AS [Employee Name], " & _
"CourseName, DateCompleted, tblEmp_SuperAdmin.[Cost Centre] " & _
"FROM tblCourse " & _
"INNER JOIN tblEmpCourses " & _
"ON tblCourse.CourseID = tblEmpCourses.CourseID) " & _
"INNER JOIN tblEmp_SuperAdmin " & _
"ON tblEmp_SuperAdmin.EmpNumber = tblEmpCourses.EmpNo " & _
"WHERE tblEmp_SuperAdmin.EmpNumber = " & lngEmpNumber & _
" ORDER BY CourseName;"
Now, the parentheses may need to be changed in the join (I always do my equi-joins in the Access QBE and let it take care of the getting the order and parens correct!), and my assumptions about the purpose of the temp table may be wrong, but I don't see it being used for anything other than as an intermediate link between tables, so I guessed it must be there to provide the name fields.
If that's wrong, then I'm at a loss as to why the temp table needs to be there.
Also, in your second post you referred to the control on the form as:
Forms!Reports!txtEmpID.Text
...the .Text property of Access controls is accessible only when the control has the focus. You could use the .Value property, but since that's the default property of Access controls, you should just stop after the name of the control:
Forms!Reports!txtEmpID
...you'll see this is how I did it in my suggested code.
I find the idea of your name-based temp table to be highly problematic to begin with. Temp tables don't belong in a front end, and it's not clear to me that it is actually a temp table. If it's temp data, put it in a shared table and key the record(s) to the username. Then you don't have to worry about constructing the table name on the fly.
