    Using Variable In VBA

    Hi - I am attempting to use a VBA variable in my sql string to build a query. This is my syntax, but I think I have messed up where the single apostrophe goes to surround the string value that I am using for my variable. Can someone analyze and let me know here?



    Code:
    Dim str As String
    
    
    str = "Select [D T].[F Name], [D T].[S N].Value, [A S].[C N] " & _ 
          "FROM [A S] Inner Join [D T] ON ([A S].ID = [D T].[S N].Value) " & _
          "AND ([A S].ID = [D T].[C N].Value) " & _
          "AND [D T].[A N] '" & strValue & "'" & _
          "Where (((D T].[A T]) = 99322) AND (([D T].[A S]) = 'Ready')) " & _
          "Order By [D T].[A N];"

    instead , you should use a query.
    the 'variable' would be what is in the form: listbox,combo,etc

    select * from table where [state]=forms!myform!txtBox

    you should do a debug.print to see what your sql resolves to.

    my guess is eliminate the & "'" and add the ' before the where.


    str = "Select [D T].[F Name], [D T].[S N].Value, [A S].[C N] " & _
    "FROM [A S] Inner Join [D T] ON ([A S].ID = [D T].[S N].Value) " & _
    "AND ([A S].ID = [D T].[C N].Value) " & _
    "AND [D T].[A N] '" & strValue & _
    "' Where (((D T].[A T]) = 99322) AND (([D T].[A S]) = 'Ready')) " & _
    "Order By [D T].[A N];"

    Code:
    Dim str As String
    
    
    str = "Select [D T].[F Name], [D T].[S N].Value, [A S].[C N] " & _ 
          "FROM [A S] Inner Join [D T] ON ([A S].ID = [D T].[S N].Value) " & _
          "AND ([A S].ID = [D T].[C N].Value) " & _
          "AND [D T].[A N] '" & strValue & "'" & _
          "Where (((D T].[A T]) = 99322) AND (([D T].[A S]) = 'Ready')) " & _
          "Order By [D T].[A N];"
    You have no equal sign between [D T].[A N] 'strValue'.
    Code:
    "AND [D T].[A N] = '" & strValue & "'" & _

    I have added in a Debug.Print and have set to view my Immediate, Locals and Watches - but I do not see anything being printed.

    Is there an additional window I need to enable in the VBA Editor?

    Nevermind, I realize now I have to have the immediate window open before I print or nothing will show.

    That was a HUGE help!!
