What am I doing wrong?

[Access_noob_]

I keep getting error 3075 on this small code. What am I missing?


Dim strsearch As String
Dim strtext As String
strtext = Me.Text22.Value
strsearch = "SELECT * from tbl_Inventtab where ((Item# like ""*" & strtext & "*""))"


Me.RecordSource = strsearch

A few points:

When you post code, post all of the code. What you are showing is a part of something-- some Form event is my guess.
What do you think this is/should do?
Don't use special characters in field or object names --use only alphabetics and underscore "_". The # sign is an issue.

Maybe the # character in the field name is the issue. Should avoid spaces and special characters/punctuation (underscore is exception) in naming convention. If used, have to enclose name in [].

I prefer to apply filter instead of changing the RecordSource.

[Missinglinq]

As stated, special characters when part of Field/Object names are problematical, and should be avoided. The Octothorp/Pound Sound/Hash Mark (#) can be particularly troublesome because in VBA it is used as the Delimiter for literal Dates; as such, the Access gnomes expect to see them in pairs, not in one-ofs, and using it like this is probably causing the compiler to choke.

Try changing the name from Item# to ItemNo and see what happens.
