DLookup Syntax Problem

Jun 7, 2006

I am trying to implement DLookup for the following sql to a linked SQL Server table to verify that the currentuser is in my Traders table:

select tr_username from Traders where tr_username='edobbie'

When I enter the following DLookup command I get the error 'compile error expected ='

The offending line is:

DLookup("tr_username","Traders","[tr_username] = " &CurrentUser())

The Editor doesn't seem to see the = sign in my criteria. I've modified the syntax a number of ways to no avail.

Does anyone see the problem?

DLookUp Syntax Error Help

Mar 26, 2008

Hello,

I have a table called "ShrinkWrapBinding" where I am supposed to look up a "Price" from. As you see in the code below, I calculate a "totalPackages" number which comes from values in a form. My problem is that when I try to use this value (totalPackages) on the DLookUp function (as seen in this code) it gives me a syntax error exactly on the totalPackages variable. Please note that I added single quotes to the 'totalPackages' variable when I use it on the DLookUp function, and have tried every possible combination (single quotes, double quotes) but still doesn't work. What is it that I'm doing wrong?

Code:
Dim totalPackages As Integer
Dim tempPrice As Double

totalPackages = Me.QuantityBooks1 / Me.ShrinkWrapQty

tempPrice = DLookup("[ShrinkWrapBinding]! [Price]", "ShrinkWrapBinding", "'totalPackages' >= [ShrinkWrapBinding]![RangeField]")

Thank you

Whats the correct syntax for this please? Thanks

Modules & VBA :: LIKE In DLookup After Syntax

Nov 5, 2013

I am looking to use a "If" statement with DLookup to find a record and see if the field name begins with "TW" as the characters. Here is what I have so far:

Code:

Dim matchCriteria As String
matchCriteria = "LIKE 'TW*'"
If DLookup("end_user", "tbl_module_repairs", "prikey = " & Me.txt_rid1.Value) = matchCriteria Then
MsgBox "Success"
Else
MsgBox "FAILURE"
End If

I am trying to switch between two sets of pricing for customers that begin with "TW" and then all else. Would the use of a "case" statement be better? If so I do not have the "end_user" bound to the form so I would need to embed Dlookup in the "case" method.

DLookup Syntax Problem In Report

Jan 3, 2007

I have a report that when run, prompts a user for an id. The user enters and id and it pulls the information based on that id. The information is being pulled from data stored in Table A. I also have Table B that associates an id with a name. In my report I have the input being stored as a string, called strCampusId. I have a text box with called txtCampusMinistryName. I want the report to do a lookup based on the users input and display the CampusId Name, however I am getting an error. The error says, RunTime Error 3075, Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'ParishId=*0101'.

Table B (called CampusMinistry) only has 2 columns, ParishId and ParishName

Here is my code that I am trying to use.

txtCampusMinistryName = DLookup("ParishName", "CampusMinistry", "ParishId=" & strCampusId)

Thanks for any and all help.

Queries :: DLookup - Combine Multiple Criteria Syntax In Query

Apr 17, 2013

I am trying to create a Dlookup in Access 2010 within a query using query wizard. I want to lookup the tax rate for an employee based on a salary range and their 'tax category' (string). Through troubleshooting I can get the criteria to work separately.

These are: DLookUp("Base","TABWT","[TABWT].[Taxclass] = '" & [FirstOfTaxGroup] & "'")

DLookUp("Base","TABWT",[grosspay] & " Between [TABWT]![Minimum] And [TABWT]![MaxBracket]")

These work and return the correct values for each column/row when I run the query.

However, when I combine the criteria (using the build wizard) as follows:

Expr1: DLookUp("Base","TABWT","[TABWT].[Taxclass] = '" & [FirstOfTaxGroup] & "'" and [grosspay] & " Between [TABWT]![Minimum] And [TABWT]![MaxBracket]")

The Dlookup will returns 0 values but will not give an error message.

I've tried quite a few variations on syntax and quotes and so on. However, it's just not working for me.

Need Help With Syntax

Dec 20, 2004

Can someone tell me how to insert the contents of a variable into a table?
I am trying to add selected items from a listbox (Members) into a temporary table (tempMembers). The code is below. On debugging, it picks up the contents of the variable (iMemberID) OK, but adds "0" to the temp table (both are integers). I'm pretty sure the problem is in the Insert statement below (stSQL3), but I can't figure out how to write it!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

stSQL3 = "INSERT INTO tempMembers (MemberID) VALUES & iMemberID & ;"
For Each varItm In Me!Members.ItemsSelected
iMemberID = ctl.ItemData(varItm)
DoCmd.RunSQL stSQL3
Next varItm

Help With Syntax

Sep 4, 2006

Can someone help me on the syntax for the following?
I have two tables: one is TapeNumber and has one field (Tape_No) autonumbered PK. The other table has information about the video and uses the Tape_No as a secondary key.

I have a form to add information about videos. I have the form bound to the first table, so it adds a new TapeNumber when I add a record. I have a subform displaying the video information for that tape (there may be several videos recorded on one tape).

When I add a new tape (or video to an existing tape), how do I save the tape number to the second table?

Thanks!

Syntax

Sep 5, 2007

I am trying to open a PDF from Access. I get it to work but it requires me to hard code the path and fiel name....

The path will always be the same although the file name will change. RIght now I get the fiel name from a textbox on a form...I am trying to change the below working code with a varaible instead of the path....I think there is some systax issues that I cannto fingure out

TotPath is the variable that holds the entire path to the file "X:Map_LibraryPark_and_Rec_AsbuiltPRA_19_73-01_W0.pdf"

This variable is rebuilt everytime the user selects something on the form....so the actual File name will change every time...

Does anyone have and ideas as to how to incorporate a variable instead of the hard coded path?

THank you all for your help.....

Access97 SQL Syntax

Jul 25, 2005

I'm familiar with SQL but not with Access97 - some wierd syntax here!

I'm creating a Query that is to Delete records from a table depending on a non-key field in a second table.

I first tried an INNER JOIN

DELETE Activity_Preferences.*
FROM Activity_Preferences INNER JOIN Activity_Key
Activity_Preferences.Activity_Key=Activity_Key.Act ivity_Key AND Activity_Key.Complete=1;

which was initially accepted but then complained about the INNER JOIN after I went in a second time to 'fix' the error.

I've finally got the following syntax accepted:-

DELETE Activity_Preferences.*
FROM Activity_Preferences, Activity_Key
WHERE Activity_Preferences.Activity_Key=Activity_Key.Act ivity_Key AND Activity_Key.Complete=1;

But when executed still gets the following error (same as for the INNER JOIN):-

'Operation must use an updatable query'.

What else is needed?

J.

Syntax Error

Mar 2, 2007

On my form I have 2 radio buttons rdoAll and rdoSpecific. If rdoAll is true then it prints a report. THis part works fine. However if rdoSpecific is true then I make visable combo box to look up an ID. Then when I click the button I want the same form to open but with just the info pertaining to the ID selected. Here is my code:

Private Sub cmdLotHistory_Click()

Dim stDocName As String, stSelection As String

stDocName = "rptLotHistory"

If Me.rdoAll = True Then
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptLotHistory", acViewPreview
End If

If Me.cboLotLU.Value > 0 Then
stSelection = "[LotID] =" & Me![cboLotLU]
End If

DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, , stSelection

End Sub

When I choose the ID and click the button I get the message

Run-Time error '3075':

Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '(LotID
=020806B1585)'.

the 020806B1585 is my ID number.

Debug hightlights the
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, , stSelection

but I'm guessing my real problem lies in the
stSelection = "[LotID] =" & Me![cboLotLU]

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Rick

SQL Syntax Issue

Jun 18, 2007

I am using the folling code in a after update combobox event:

Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim sqlwhere As String

sqlwhere = " "

If IsNull(Me.comboSearchSerial) = False Then
sqlwhere = "SerialNumber='" & Me.comboSearchSerial & "' and "
End If

mysql = "SELECT TBL_RMA.* from [TBL_RMA] Where "
mysql = mysql & sqlwhere
mysql = mysql & ";"
Forms!FRM_RMA.RecordSource = mysql

Exit_comboSearchSerial_AfterUpdate:

This is currently working for me with SerialNumber being a text field. I would like to use the same code substituting SerialNumber with a Date field. I know its probly an issue with the use of quotes, but I can't seem to figure it out. Also, if I wanted to use a number format, what would I use...
Thanks
