    Need help with query to SQL and inserting into VBA

    Hello all,

    I keep running into the same problem which I'm assuming is probably an easy fix but I'm just not seeing it. The error I get is "Query input must contain at least one table or query". First, I built my query. I tested my query and it seems to work. What I'm doing is pulling info from two tables (Comms2 and Misc) and adding two calculated fields (Expr1 and Expr2) all of which appends to my table "Override". I've converted the query to SQL and put it into my VBA. I have done this to other queries with success, so I'm fairly certain I cleaned up the SQL code correctly. My query does call for a vba code for the calclations but I don't think that is what is causing the current error...however, my other queries didn't call for vba coding. Below is the code.

    I appreciate any help anyone can give me.


    Thanks,
    John

    Public Sub appOverride(commDate)
    Dim appOver As String

    appOver = "INSERT INTO Override ( DateofComm, Instrument, MiscAmount, Store, SP1, factorBasis, overrideTotal )" & _
    "SELECT Misc.DateofComm, Misc.Instrument, Misc.MiscAmount, Misc.Store, Comms2.SP1, getFactor([SP1],[Misc].[Store],[Misc].[Instrument]) AS Expr1, [MiscAmount]*getFactor([SP1],[Misc].[Store],[Misc].[Instrument]) AS Expr2" & _
    "FROM Comms2 INNER JOIN Misc ON Comms2.DateofComm = Misc.DateofComm" & _
    "GROUP BY Misc.DateofComm, Misc.Instrument, Misc.MiscAmount, Misc.Store, Comms2.SP1, getFactor([SP1],[Misc].[Store],[Misc].[Instrument]), [MiscAmount]*getFactor([SP1],[Misc].[Store],[Misc].[Instrument])" & _
    "HAVING Misc.DateofComm= #' & commDate & '# AND Comms2.SP1='Dave M' Or Comms2.SP1='Emily Beckman' Or Comms2.SP1='Anthony T.' AND getFactor([SP1],[Misc].[Store],[Misc].[Instrument]) Is Not Null;"

    DoCmd.RunSQL appOver

    End Sub

    put this before the DoCmd line (and comment out that line for now anyway)

    Debug.Print appOver

    then look at the output in the immediate window - you should be able to see that there is more than one error.
    BTW, that is trouble shooting 101.

    I tried what you suggested. I'm sorry, I don't see where the error(s) is.

    AS Expr2FROM << missing space

    Misc.DateofCommGROUP BY << ditto

    Misc.DateofComm= #' & commDate & '# << not a date - supposed to be?

    Surprised you're not seeing those. If you still can't see that I must have a different output than you, for some reason. In that case, perhaps post your output?
    You can often solve such issues by pasting output into a new query sql view and switching to datasheet view. Access usually highlights whatever it is that causes the query to balk, albeit one issue at a time. Regardless of whether or not you use line continuation characters, I suggest you get into the habit of putting your required spaces at the beginning of a line:

    " SELECT Misc.DateofComm,[Store],[Misc].[Instrument])... & _
    " FROM Comms2 INNER JOIN Misc ON ... & _
    " GROUP BY Misc.DateofComm, ..." & _
    " HAVING Misc.DateofComm..." & -

    EDIT - forgot to mention you might want to consider this approach rather than a whole lot of OR's:
    IN ('Dave M','Emily Beckman','Anthony T.')

    Thank you, that was a problem but not the problem. Originally it wasn't written like that. I've converted the query several times into sql and always got the same problem thinking I had missed a ( or a ". My last attempt was to make it single quotes instead of double not realizing that my previous attempt had missed a ( somewhere. Works fine now.

    Thank you for seeing what I couldn't.

    Btw, thank you for the tip on the Or's. I was not aware of that.
