Help For Newbie , DoCmd.RunSql
Mar 2, 2008hello,
im creating a small database and am extremely new to vba, ive got stuck on running a select query from within the vba code itself, the book im currently reading while learning about this stuff suggests my code whould work but after looking into it i believe its wrong as ive read various threads saying you cannot use docmd.runsql with a select query, just wondering if anyone could help and throw some light on how to get this little bit of code working. below is the part of my code that falls over,
basicaly it should lookup the weight based on what the parcel type is and find the price, the parcel type is worked out earlier in my code and is held in strParcelType, theirs probably an easier way to do this as well but have'nt got that far in my book :)
intWeight = Me.txtWeight
Select Case intWeight
Case 0 To 100
intCost = DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT pricetable1.[Postage Name], pricetable1.[0-100g] FROM pricetable1 WHERE (((pricetable1.[Postage Name]) = strParcelType))"
Case 101 To 250
intCost = DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT pricetable1.[Postage Name], pricetable1.[101-250g] FROM pricetable1 WHERE (((pricetable1.[Postage Name]) = strParcelType))"
Case 251 To 500
intCost = DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT pricetable1.[Postage Name], pricetable1.[251-500g] FROM pricetable1 WHERE (((pricetable1.[Postage Name]) = strParcelType))"
Case 501 To 750
intCost = DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT pricetable1.[Postage Name], pricetable1.[501-750g] FROM pricetable1 WHERE (((pricetable1.[Postage Name]) = strParcelType))"
Case 751 To 1000
intCost = DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT pricetable1.[Postage Name], pricetable1.[751-1000g] FROM pricetable1 WHERE (((pricetable1.[Postage Name]) = strParcelType))"
Case 1001 To 1250
intCost = DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT pricetable1.[Postage Name], pricetable1.[1001-1250g] FROM pricetable1 WHERE (((pricetable1.[Postage Name]) = strParcelType))"
End Select
Me.txtEstimate = strParcelType & intCost
many thanks to any gurus who can point me in the right direction or show me a easier way to do this
Docmd.RunSQL Upadate Problem ??
May 10, 2007Hey guys.
I have a VBA application i am writing.
I am trying to use an sql statement with docmd.runsql to insert a value into my table that matches a particular record. (which will be the one open). For testing purposed i have stripped down my code.
When running the code it works, however it puts chinese symbols in all the other fields of the record and dose not insert the record into the CapExFileName Field. Then when you try and delete the record it comes up with no search index found.
Any idea on why it would be doing this ?
here is the code.
.......
Dim SQLstring As String
SQLstring = "UPDATE Assets SET Assets.CapExFileName = 'Test' WHERE Assets.Barcode = 'Testies1234'"
Docmd.RunSql SQLString
....
Mark.
Error 2486 On All Docmd
Jul 6, 2005Here is a strange problem I had never encountered before.
I have a form with a few command buttons. One button runs a Docmd.RunSQL code which append some records to a table. Another button runs a Docmd.RunSQL code that delete some records from the same table. The table is a simple table with only 5 fields.
The problem is after I opened the form I can only use one of the above buttons ONCE, after that I got this error message on all codes that began with Docmd.:
Run-time error '2486':
You can't carry out this action at the present time.
AND
I could not close the form. I could only close the databse file but could not exit MsAccess. I had to use Task Manager to end MsAccess process.
I had searched several forums but could not find any clue. Hope that I don't have to do the form from scratch again. Thanks for any help.

ADO, DAO Vs RunSQL
Nov 2, 2006After a hiatus of a few years I find myself back writing Access applications, so I need to get caught up a bit.
First of all help me out with the whole ADO, DAO RunSQL thing. In the past whenever I needed to do any database operations I almost always used straight SQL with DoCmd.RunSQL, e.g.:
lsSQL = "INSERT INTO tblUsers CenterID, WorkerID..."
DoCmd.RunSQL (lsSQL)
Most other coders seem to use some recordset approach, e.g:
Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("tblUsers")
rst.AddNew
rst("ClientID") = Me.ClientID.Value
rst("WorkerID") = Me.WorkerID.Value
...
rst.Update
The only time I ever used recordsets was when I needed to loop through each record and apply some logic that was too convoluted for SQL or at least too convoluted for me to write in SQL.
So, what's the advantage of using recordsets - whether ADO or DAO - over RunSQL?
RunSql
Aug 24, 2006I have a table with one entry- just a date that holds the last day of the month for a function that reminds the user to do something. I have some code that's supposed to change this entry via an update query- but it's not working- literally, no errors, just nothing. I tried running it in an actual query- but still nothing.
The query should update the table endCurrMonth to the last day of the month. I've tried hardcoding various dates- still nothing
DoCmd.RunSQL ("UPDATE tableMetrics SET tableMetrics.endCurrMonth = DateSerial(Year(Date()), Month(Date()) + 1, 0)")
anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
thanx

Simultaneaus Deletion Using RunSQL
May 18, 2005can some one help.
i have two tables table1,table2 each with one same field Country.
In my RunSQl query, i want to delete all records in table1 and table2 simultaneously from one button with a certain country.
The problem is how can i do this from may be one RunSQL statement
i tried to use two deletion runSQl commands, but only one is executed. Actually the one that comes second.
If i put doevents in the middle of these statements, only the first is executed.
Here is my code:
Private Sub RemoveCtry_Click()
docmd.setwarnings false
Docmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM table1 WHERE (Country='" & USA & "')"
Doevents
Docmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM table2 WHERE (Country='" & USA & "')"
docmd.setwarnings true
End Sub
if I use One Statement:
Docmd.RunSQL "DELETE table1.Country,table2.Country FROM table1,table2 WHERE ((table1.Country='" & USA & "' ) AND (table2.Country=' " & USA & " '))"
I get an error that i have to specify the table to delete from!!!!

DoCmd Problem In ASP
Oct 29, 2004I am trying to develop a page where users can click on alphabets to look for a company name that starts with the selected letter.
Searching through the forums i came across the method of using DoCmd.
alpha = Request.QueryString("alp")
if alpha <> "" then
DoCmd.ApplyFilter "", "[com_name] Like ""[" & alpha & "]*"""
end if
The 'alpha' variable here holds the alphabet selected by user from another page. However, I'm getting an error message saying
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01F4)
Variable is undefined: 'DoCmd'
Initially i tried the usual filtering
if alpha <> "" then
rs.Filter = "com_name LIKE " & alpha
end if
The pages are suppose to display records in 10s. But instead of showing only the records of company starting "A" (example) it shows everything.
Please kindly point me to the correct direction to solve this problem.
Thank you so much.

Difference Between 'Call' And 'DoCmd'
Apr 8, 2008Can someone tell me the difference between 'Call' and 'DoCmd' and how each are executed. For my level of programming, an newbie at that, I've used it interchangably so far without a problem. But I'm beginning to think that there is a difference. I don't want to later have to go back to redo my code down the line. I'm beginning to think that I've been very lucky so far in being able to use it interchangebly and my luck will run out soon.:eek:

DoCmd.OpenForm Arguments
Jan 24, 2005Hi,
I have got an unbound access form, and in this form I gather 2 dates (i.e. through txt fields). Once I have these fields, I want to open a form that has one list box on it. This list box should populate based on the dates that I gather on the previous form. How do I specify this through the DoCmd.OpenForm arguments? Currently I have the following code, but it is not working:
Form 1:
Dim whereClause As String
whereClause = "SELECT * FROM qryInvoice WHERE tblInv.InvDate Between #" & txtStartDate & "# And #" & txtEndDate & "#" & ";"
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmInvoiceFax", acNormal, , , , , whereClause
Form 2:
public Sub Form_Load(args As String)
MsgBox args
lstInvoice.Rowsource = whereClause
End Sub
I know I am not doing it the right way (because it is not working), but I can't actually find how to do it. Help!
DoCmd.OpenForm Troubles
Mar 18, 2005I have a form(frmGetRecord) with a subform(frmSubGetRecord). frmGetRecord has a combobox cmbCNO to choose the patient. The subform displays the admit date and discharge date(if there is one). There can be multiple admit/Discharge dates for a patient. Based on the values from fields on the form and subform, I would like to open a data entry form(frmEvents) for the particular record. I have a command button to run the code to open frmEvents. I am having trouble with the criteria in the where condition.
stLinkCriteria = "[CNo]=" & "'" & Me![cmbCNO] & "'" _
And "[AdmitDate]=" & "#" & Forms![frmGetRecord]![frmSubGetRecord].Form![AdmitDate] & "#" _
And "[DischDate]=" & "#" & Forms![frmGetRecord]![frmSubGetRecord].Form![DischDate] & "#"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , stQryName, stLinkCriteria, acFormEdit
When I click on the command button I get a type mismatch error. If I test the StLinkCriteria separately, the DoCmd.OpenForm will work for just the CNO field or just the AdmitDate field. If I test those two strings together, I get the type mismatch. Also, DischDate could be blank and I'm not sure how to add an IIf statement to the string to test for that in the where statement. I'm also not sure how to make sure it picks the correct record if there is more than one admit date. I would like to select the desired date record, then have the command button open the appropriate record.
Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any help.
