compile error: expected sub, function or property

[hellojosie]

I have been researchin this issue all morning.

I am getting this error on some code I'm trying to run:

Compile error: expected sub, function or property

What does the error message mean?



It highlights a field I am refrencing but the field name is correct?

This is the code and I have typed in red the part the error refers to:

Sub DriversAvailable2()
Dim mydb As Database
Dim myset As Recordset
Dim strList As String
Set mydv = CurrentDb()
Set myset = mydb.OpenRecordset("qryDriversAvailable")
strList = "This is a list of available drivers: " & vbCrLf
myset.MoveFirst
Do While Not myset.EOF
strList -strList & myset![FullName] & vbCrLf
myset.MoveNext

Loop
MsgBox strList
End Sub

Thank you for any help and direction in advance!!!!

You've got a minus sign rather than an equals sign. Try:

strList = strList & myset![FullName] & vbCrLf

Hi randoman,

Eeek thanks for that!!!

The error message is still coming up though.

Any other ideas? Please help!!!!!

Well, according to your text above, you have another type-o but I wouldn't expect a compile error on the line you highlighted:

Dim mydb As Database
Set mydv = CurrentDb() '<--- Should be mydb

I would expect an 'object not set' error on the line

Set myset = mydb.OpenRecordset("qryDriversAvailable")

Hi again!

This is really embarasing hey.

I have fixed that type-o and I am still getting the error.

Actually I did get an error 3601 for a change for a moment and then it went back to the usual compile error.

Continuing to research and I can't find anything to help. Feeling really deflated.

Please help!!!!

The only other thing that I can think of is to explicitly refer to the Value property of the recordset field such as

strList = strList & myset![FullName].Value & vbCrLf



I use recordsets all the time and usually don't explicitly refer to the Value property unless I'm working with collections. However, I do explicitly declare the DAO library. For example:

Dim mydb As DAO.Database
Dim myset As DAO.Recordset

Depending on your references and the order in which they appear, you could be implicitly referencing the ADO library. Just to be clear, you get the error when the code runs and the same element is highlighted as you describe in your original post?

Thanks for replying again!!!

Do you mean the MS DAO 3.6 object library?

I tried to check this earlier and move it up and I got a DLL error message.

I know I have stated that I am working in Access 2007 but it is actually 2010. I don't know why but on the data base it shows 2007 up the top but the properties of access show 2010.

Anyway I did some research on the DLL error message and came out with the DAO was not neccessary because Access 14. does what the DAO does?

I'm so confused and really appreciate you looking at this.

I will also try your other suggestion-Thanks so much!
