    Can't find source of Error #2471


    A very simple DLookup:

    Code:
    varRetAddr = DLookup("[Address]", "QReunionRoster", "[LastName] = " & LN)
    varRetAddr dim'd as variant
    LN dim'd as string
    LN = "Barth" as seen in debug


    Error:

    QReunionRoster in fact contains a fields "LastName" and "Address" and the underlying query table in fact contains the name "Barth". I have no idea what the problem is? BTW I tried coding "LastName" with and without brackets.

    after 840 posts, you must know about how to treat text and numbers when building a string

    "[LastName] = '" & LN & "'"
