I am pretty new to access and trying to create a form to enter data into a table. I keep getting a syntax error. Below is the part of code where I keep getting the syntax.
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INFO [Tb1 - Information]([Zone], [Controller], [Controller Type], [Panel], [CB #], [Controller Unit], [IP Address], [Modbus Address], [Sub Address/ HTC#], [PP Location], [Opp Priority],[ Startup Priority]) " & _

I have a program that has a "GC" Button that I click on which takes me to a General Contractor Form. It works perfectly unless the Firm has an apostrophe in it's name. For example "D'Agostino". (refer to attached DAgostino1.jpg). When I click on the GC button, I get the attached Syntax error, (Syntax on DAgostiono.jpg).
The third attachment (GC Firm Button Code.jpg) shows the VBC for this button.
how to fix this error?
Why am I receiving 'Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression' error message ? Below is the code.
stFrmName = "Previous Plan"

DoCmd.OpenForm stFrmName, , , stLinkCriteria
I am attempting to use some external data to populate fields in my DB. I would like to reformat the ProductID in my DB to match a ProductName coming into my DB. We have many products that have 2 pieces. If the product does have two pieces, the external database has two ProductNames that look like this:
0000967
2000967
I would like my database to be able to pull information for each of these 2 part products (they will be displayed as one product in our DB, never to be seperated). I have a form that gives the exact measurements of the first piece by using the ProductName and matching my ProductID (0000967). I would now like to write a little VBA to populate some fields on the forms that are pulled from 2000967.
something like:
Forms!Product!txtField2 = DLookup("[FieldName]", "TableName", "[ProductName] = Forms!Product!ProductID")
The issue is that I need to only get the trailing 6 digits of my ProductID and add a 2 at the beginning. Is there a quick Format syntax I could use to accomplish this?
I have created a form based on a query. The funny thing is when I tried to sort fields on the form, the following message box pops up:
Syntax Error (Missing Operator) In (Field Name)
I just did the exact same thing several weeks ago, and that first form could sort fields normally. The only difference between the first one and this is that this second query was based on several tables, while the first was based on a single table, although I doubt that is where the problem is.
I forgot to add that I could sort fields where the field name doesn't have spaces in it. For example, the field name "Customer ID" triggers the syntax error, while the field "S/N", "Company", etc. can be sorted like normal.
Hello,
This is related to "Old_value, new_value" thread I posted yestarday (Module&VBA).
I have a problem i missed yestarday. The code it's vorking great, but it allways takes the showed new_value and makes it old_value for the new record, and this is a problem, because the showed record is not the last for that customer.
So, I was thinking that if I make a new Autonumber field in my table, I could sort descending the values and this way the input form will allways show me the last entered data for that person.
As I noticed from a long time ago, if I sort a table that allready has a form, the form won't show the records sorted. Why? It's necessary to make the form again? I tried to order the data on the form from Properties window ->Data->Order by, but the ordering is Ascending and I need it Descending!
Can enybody help me?
Thanx,
Attila
I have a graph on my form, an Update/Refresh button, and a textbox that display a calculted value.
The textboxes controlsource is "=GetMyValue()"
Now when I click the Update button on the form, I would like to have the graph to refresh first, and then the textbox should update its value by running the GetMyValue function. But it works the other way around.
I've even tried to reset and set the textbox controlsource in the click event but it still get's preference above the refresh of the graph.
So, I've recently discovered that I'm more of an Access newbie than I had fancied myself to be. Anyway, I find that I need help with part of an ongoing project.
In our agreements with our clients, we have a set of standard terms which we typically use. Some clients with better bargaining power can occasionally negotiate better terms. One of the things I want our database to do is pull up which clients use the boilerplate terms and which have special situations.
I have two tables:
1) Fields: ClientID (Autonumber - Primary Key) & ClientName (Text)
2) Fields: ClientID (same as above - Primary Key) & Boilerplate (Yes/No)
For the clients that do not use the boilerplate, I would like to input the terms that differ from the original. Now to my question:
Is there anyway in my form(s) to make it so if I answer "No" (the client has special terms), it will then allow me to enter the special terms in another box? Similarly, if I answer "Yes" (that the client has boilerplate terms) no special entry box is triggered?
I'm not sure if I'm making any sense, but I guess I can sort of liken it to a computer survey where you have the choice of 4 options or "other" and if you select "other", an area opens for you to type what "other" is.
Let me know if you have questions. I'm at a loss for how to explain or do this.
I've been using the following code successfully in Access 2003 & now I need to migrate to Access 2010. The purpose of the code is to use the items that the user selects in the list box to build the criteria of a query. Access 2010 keeps giving me a syntax error when I try to run the query & I don't know why:
My code is:
On Error GoTo Err_Command151_Click
' Declare variables
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strCriteria As String
Dim strSQL As String
[Code] .....
The syntax error I get in Access 2010 is:
Syntax Error in query expression 'SELECT * FROM
qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK WHERE
qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK.Rep ortableName IN('Adbri
Masonry NSW');'
Okay I have an Orders Form, which generates a SubTotal Price (ex VAT), VAT, Shipping & Freight Charge based on an IIF statment of being under a 50.00 order apply 20.00 charge. And finally a Order Total with it all added together. This works fine, however I cannot seem to find a way to post these prices in my Orders Table. When I click on Datasheet View for the form, all the details appear as they should.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel file (sourced externally) linked as a table. All fields are defined as text fields. In some of the Excel cells, data has somehow been entered as numeric (eg phone number). When I query the Excel file thru Access, these fields show up as errors (#num!).
I need to find a way of interogating the field, and if in error (like these ones), then ignore it, or replace with zeros etc.
I cant find a way of doing this. Help :)

I'm trying to append a group of fields to a SQL table using ADO in VBA. One of the fields I'm writing back to is a datatime and in certain situations there won't be a value, however, when I try this it throws in the beginning of time 1/1/1900 or whatever it is. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Is there a way to change the data type for multiple fields at once? Such as 20 text fields to numeric in one step.
Thanks
Hi,
Strange but true.
I am trying to numeric data types on my access 2000 where I could input values in table like 0.3567 or 2.3454
Anyway any values of this kind with 4 decimal places. however somehow the values always get rounded to number + 4 zeros as of example:
if I put 0.756769 I want it to be as 0.7568 but I get 1.0000
I don't understand this. Can anyone help please?
I have not used access for ages and I seemed to be forgeting all this stuff.
Thanks

Hi all!
I'm experiencing an apparently simple problem, but it's taking me too long to solve :confused:
Two tables with a "text" (100) column on each. I want to select those who are identical. ¡So easy! thats the where clause:
AND a.sDesEntidad = b.sNombreLargo
That works fine. But... i want to "relax" the clause, by not considering dots ( . ) when comparing, and i do like this:
AND (Replace([a]![sDesEntidad],'.','') = Replace([b]![sNombreLargo],'.',''));
and i get a run-time Error 3464, Data type mismatch in criteria expression. Oooops!
My access version is 2003, spanish. I would really appreciate ur help, since this matter shouldn't be keeping me busy for so long :(
Regards and thx in advance!

Hi,
Wondering if anyone has a solution for my problem.
I have 2 data sources, one which is an ODBC and one which is an import table. I have a 2 queries each querying the 2 data sources seperatly.
My problem is... One of the fields which I need to do a join to a reference table has a different data type in each of the data sources. I have tried changing this in the imported table NO JOY!! You cant change the data type in the ODBC link.
Is the anyway round this?
Any help appreciated...
I am trying to do a comparison between two values and am getting the following error:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e07'
Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
The code that is creating the error is as follows:
sb = Request.Form("storyboardscreen")
if Not Lcase(Request.Form("AllStoryBoard")) = "all" then
whereClause = whereClause + "theStoryboard = " + sb
end if
I am using the statement to build the where clause of my query. The sb value is retrieved from a pull down menu and "theStoryboard" column is the db is of data type "text". The values stored in the field are 12 digit numbers. I have tried doing a cstr to sb but that doesnt work, any tips on what I am doing wrong? I am using asp with an access db....
Thanks
WorkID is a look-up field, so its Data Type is Number.
In the same table, DailyGrind is a field with the Data Type of text.
I would like to update WorkID with the jobs in DailyGrind.
Surely there must be a way to do it, gurus?
Hi All,
I have a Union query that brings together several tables into one. This works perfectly well however there is an occassion when a field in one table has its data type changed to text from date. This is to allow N/A to be entered rather than a date. When this occurs the union query changes all the dates from the other tables to text also and therefore other queries I am running based on the Union query now fail.
Is there any way to have the Union Query ignore the data from the table where and when this this occurs as it is not necessary to show in the query and can happen with any of the tables at a users discretion
Thanks Again

Hi,
I have 2 linked tables, I would like to join these tables in access, however the first table's field is a memo and the second table is a number. I have tried to cint() the field in a query but I get an error message "Explicit conversion from datatype text to smallint is not allowed"
Any ideas how to get around this problem?
Thanks

What I am trying to do is create a data entry form to an "order table" using 2 cascading combo boxes. I have created a data entry form based on a query. I can't get the cascading combo boxes to work properly.Here is the code:
Private Sub Combo0_AfterUpdate()
Combo2.RowSource = "SELECT L2_ID,L4_Element_name,L5_Category FROM qry_ord WHERE L3_ID = Combo0.Value;"
Combo2.DefaultValue = [Combo2].[ItemData](0)
Command4.SetFocus
End Sub
[code]....
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
I have a function that builds a filter and it get a syntex error. It has three components and I must be missing something in combining them into the filter. SpecID and ReviewID are numbers. Selected is a checkbox and 'Yes' is a string. Can anyone see the source of the Syntax Error?
Private Function PlanFilter()
Dim strFilter1 As String, strFilter2 As String, strFilter3 As String
strFilter1 = "[SpecID] = " & [Forms]![frmMainEntry]![SpecID]
strFilter2 = "[ReviewID] = " & [Forms]![frmMainEntry].Form!fctlReviewRequests!ReviewID
strFilter3 = "[Selected] = 'Yes'"
gstrFilter = strFilter1 & " And " & strFilter2 & " And " & strFilter3 & ";"
Debug.Print gstrFilter
End Function
Thanks,
