The SQL statement works in the query grid but not in the vba. I want a search box to pop up and I will enter the EquipID into the search box then it will load the correct records into a list box for that EquipID. See below for the SQL Statement.

strSQL = "SELECT tblTag.TagNumber, tblTag.TagID, tblEquipment.Equipment, tblEquipment.EquipID " & vbCrLf & _
"FROM tblEquipment INNER JOIN tblTag ON tblEquipment.EquipID = tblTag.EquipID " & vbCrLf & _
"WHERE (((tblEquipment.EquipID) Like ['Filter Report: Type EquipID]));"

Excel Facts

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
That might be too much information now.

It loooks like the problem is in how you are using strSQL, in the sub cboEquipNumber_Click()

What is the value of me.cboEquipNumber when you are running this code?

For example,

Edit this sub:
Code:
Private Sub cboEquipNumber_Click()

Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT tblTag.TagNumber, tblTag.TagID, tblEquipment.Equipment, tblEquipment.EquipID " _
& "FROM tblEquipment INNER JOIN tblTag ON tblEquipment.EquipID = tblTag.EquipID " _
& "WHERE tblEquipment.EquipID = " & Me.cboEquipNumber & ""

Set rstTag = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)

Do Until rstTag.EOF
    Me.lstTag.AddItem (Format(rstTag!TagNumber, "0000") & ";" & rstTag!TagID)
    rstTag.MoveNext
Loop

rstTag.Close
Set rstTag = Nothing

End Sub


Change it to this:
Code:
Private Sub cboEquipNumber_Click()

MsgBox Me.cboEquipNumber

End Sub

  • What value does the message box display?
  • Is it the correct value for an EquipID?
  • What is the datatype of EquipID in the underlying table (tblEquipment) - is it numeric or string/text?



Next also you can change it to this:
Code:
Private Sub cboEquipNumber_Click()

Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT tblTag.TagNumber, tblTag.TagID, tblEquipment.Equipment, tblEquipment.EquipID " _
& "FROM tblEquipment INNER JOIN tblTag ON tblEquipment.EquipID = tblTag.EquipID " _
& "WHERE tblEquipment.EquipID = " & Me.cboEquipNumber & ""

MsgBox strSQL

End Sub


  • Is that good sql?
  • Can it be run as is?
  • Can you put it into a new query as raw sql and actually run it with correct results?

Try to keep in mind that your goal is to produce a raw SQL string that is correct and can be run as is. So all you need to really do it keep tweaking this until strSQL is correct and runnable as is. As far as quotes or no quotes the rule is simple - text goes in quotes, numbers do not.

Answers to your questions:
What value does the message box display?
(The value is a list of Equipment. It shows the equipID when running code)

What value does the message box display? (1 which is the equipID for that piece of equipment)
Is it the correct value for an EquipID? (Yes)
What is the datatype of EquipID in the underlying table (tblEquipment) - is it numeric or string/text? (Auto Number "Primary Key "Long Integer)
<strike>
</strike>

  • Is that good sql? (Yes)
  • Can it be run as is? (Yes)
  • Can you put it into a new query as raw sql and actually run it with correct results?(Yes)

When I run it from the raw query it works perfect. But when I run it from the combo box it populates the list box with the correct information but does not populate the report, it is blank. Can not understand what is happening.

The SQL populates a list box. Then I choose records out of the list box to run a report, but the report does not populate with the records. Everything you have done works fine, just not getting to the report.

The sql appears to be working correctly. I cannot understand what is happening either. Why would sql from a combobox populate a report? Its job is to populate the combobox.

I finally figured it out. Thanks to everyone that helped me through this. I just had to walk away from it for a bit it just popped into my head what I was doing wrong. It is working great now but I could not have done it without every ones help. Thanks again!!

Yes this is another good debugging tip for all of us.

So now I am wanting to change the combo box to search for JobNumber instead of EquipID. Here is the new sql statement. I am getting the same error: Missing Parameter expected 1. What am I doing wrong?

[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif] strSQL = "SELECT tblTag.TagNumber, tblTag.TagID " & vbCrLf & _
"FROM tblTag " & vbCrLf & _
"WHERE tblTag.JobNumber = & [Forms]![frmTagReport]![cboJobID] & ;"[/FONT]

Okay well the basic rule for testing is:

1) does the raw sql work.
2) does the string I have created match the raw sql I wanted to create?

In this case, the raw sql is:
Code:
SELECT tblTag.TagNumber, tblTag.TagID 
FROM tblTag 
WHERE tblTag.JobNumber = 384456;

and the string you have created is:
Code:
SELECT tblTag.TagNumber, tblTag.TagID 
FROM tblTag 
WHERE tblTag.JobNumber = & [Forms]![frmTagReport]![cboJobID] & ;

As you can see, they don't match.

What you meant (probably) was:
Code:
strSQL = "SELECT tblTag.TagNumber, tblTag.TagID " & vbCrLf & _
"FROM tblTag " & vbCrLf & _
"WHERE tblTag.JobNumber = " & [Forms]![frmTagReport]![cboJobID] & ";"
