where statement not right

[tmcrouse]

On my form I have the following and my where statement does not seem to work. Tried altering () and [] but still nothing.

Private Sub FLJan11_Click()

dim strsql as string
dim db as dao.database
dim rs as dao.recordset

set db = currentdb(focus)

strsql = "select focuslist2011.pol, focuslist2011.customer, focuslist2011.subcntjan11
from focuslist2011
where [focuslist2011.pol]=[forms]![focuslist]![pol]"



set rs = db.openrecordset(strsql, dbopendynaset)

more code for loop and excel below the above code. It is erroring by displaying red on my SQL section.

I assume you have it on different lines like that? First, put it all on one until you get it right. Second you need to concatenate the form reference:

"...where [focuslist2011.pol]=" & [forms]![focuslist]![pol]

or if pol is a text field:

"...where [focuslist2011.pol]='" & [forms]![focuslist]![pol] & "'"
