cbo value

Hello

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my SQL statement Im trying to use on my form?


Error:
A RunSql Action requires an arguement consisting of a SQL Statement.

strSQL = "SELECT * " & _
"FROM [tbl_CurrentInv] " & _
"WHERE [tbl_CurrentInv].[Itemname]= " & _
"'" & [Forms]![frm_Test]![Combo0].[Text] & "';"

Any ideas?

Thank you
Terry

From VBA Help:

Note To set or return a control's Text property, the control must have the focus, or an error occurs. To move the focus to a control, you can use the SetFocus method or GoToControl action.

The RunSQL command will only work on action queries such as append, updates, deletes it is not designed for select queries.

Instead of the Text property, try using Value:

strSQL = "SELECT * " & "FROM [tbl_CurrentInv] " & "WHERE [tbl_CurrentInv].[Itemname]= " & "'" &
 [Forms]![frm_Test]![Combo0].[Value] & "';"

And you can run a normal query in VBA, so create a query using that logic (and, yes, it can reference the combo control), put the name of the query in a string (here, cQueryName), and use this VBA command:

DoCmd.OpenQuery cQueryName, acViewNormal, acReadOnly

The tricky part is getting people to close the query result that is displayed; I have this instruction in a label next to the list box I use to display available queries:

To close the query, click on the LOWER x (e.g. Close Window) control at the upper right corner of the screen. Clicking on the upper x control will close the Access application.

Thank you

I assigned the strSql to the recordsource. Works great
