I am receiving the below error when creating a form where my users can search for their clients. I keep getting the below error. I have run the query in design view and it runs without any error. Any help is appreciated!

SELECT Client_Data_qry.ID, Client_Data_qry.Client_Name, Client_Data_qry.Business_Type, Client_Data_qry.Contact_Person, Client_Data_qry.Contact_Nbr, Client_Data_qry.
Contact_Email_Add, Client_Data_qry.Client_Name AS Client_Data_qry.Business_Type AS [Business Type] FROM Client_Data_qry WHERE (((Client_Data_qry.Client_Name) Like "*" & Forms!frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data!txtSearch2 & "*")) Or (((Client_Data_qry.Business_Type) Like "*" & Forms!frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data!txtSearch2 & "*")) Or (((Client_Data_qry.Contact_Person) Like "*" & Forms!frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data!txtSearch2 & "*")) Or (((Client_Data_qry.Contact_Nbr) Like "*" & Forms!frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data!txtSearch2 & "*")) Or (((Client_Data_qry.Contact_Email_Add) Like "*" & Forms!frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data!txtSearch2 & "*")) ORDER BY Client_Data_qry.ID DESC;
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish with this?
What exactly is being added in all your Search box on the Form?

I have created the below form.

In the rows I would like the search to return:


ID

Client_Name
Business_Type
Contact_Person
Contact_Nbr

Contact_Email_Add

Thanks!

So, is your query supposed to search EVERY single field, or just the Client Name field?
Can you tell us the specific value you are entering in when you get this error?

You don't really need any of the parentheses you have in the WHERE clause of the query.

Rich (BB code):
SELECT Client_Data_qry.ID, Client_Data_qry.Client_Name, Client_Data_qry.Business_Type, Client_Data_qry.Contact_Person, Client_Data_qry.Contact_Nbr, Client_Data_qry.Contact_Email_Add, Client_Data_qry.Client_Name AS Client_Data_qry.Business_Type AS [Business Type]
FROM Client_Data_qry
WHERE Client_Data_qry.Client_Name Like "*" & Forms!frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data!txtSearch2 & "*"
       OR Client_Data_qry.Business_Type Like "*" & Forms!frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data!txtSearch2 & "*"
       OR Client_Data_qry.Contact_Person Like "*" & Forms!frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data!txtSearch2 & "*"
       OR Client_Data_qry.Contact_Nbr Like "*" & Forms!frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data!txtSearch2 & "*"
       OR Client_Data_qry.Contact_Email_Add Like "*" & Forms!frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data!txtSearch2 & "*"
ORDER BY Client_Data_qry.ID DESC;

I notice ([Client_Name])) isn't in the query you posted.

Can we see Client_Data_qry?

I have removed unnecessary "Client_Data_qry." and formatted your sql in post#5
VBA Code:
SELECT ID
    ,Client_Name
    ,Business_Type
    ,Contact_Person
    ,Contact_Nbr
    ,Contact_Email_Add
    ,Client_Name AS Business_Type AS [Business Type] '<<<<<<<<<SYNTAX??????
FROM Client_Data_qry
WHERE Client_Name LIKE "*" & Forms ! frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data ! txtSearch2 & "*"
    OR Business_Type LIKE "*" & Forms ! frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data ! txtSearch2 & "*"
    OR Contact_Person LIKE "*" & Forms ! frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data ! txtSearch2 & "*"
    OR Contact_Nbr LIKE "*" & Forms ! frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data ! txtSearch2 & "*"
    OR Contact_Email_Add LIKE "*" & Forms ! frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data ! txtSearch2 & "*"
ORDER BY ID DESC;

Check the line I have noted with <<<SYNTAX Seems Client name was supposed to be aliased?????

Try this one: (But you have Business_Type identified twice in your sql)

VBA Code:
SELECT ID
    ,Client_Name
    ,[COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]Business_Type[/COLOR]
    ,Contact_Person
    ,Contact_Nbr
    ,Contact_Email_Add
    ,Client_Name
    ,[COLOR=rgb(61, 142, 185)]Business_Type [/COLOR]AS [Business Type]
FROM Client_Data_qry
WHERE Client_Name LIKE "*" & Forms ! frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data ! txtSearch2 & "*"
    OR Business_Type LIKE "*" & Forms ! frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data ! txtSearch2 & "*"
    OR Contact_Person LIKE "*" & Forms ! frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data ! txtSearch2 & "*"
    OR Contact_Nbr LIKE "*" & Forms ! frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data ! txtSearch2 & "*"
    OR Contact_Email_Add LIKE "*" & Forms ! frmAdvancedSearch_Client_Data ! txtSearch2 & "*"
ORDER BY ID DESC;
