Modules & VBA :: Invalid Argument With Search Box - Missing Space Or Quotation Marks
Mar 25, 2014
I found this code on a website that uses a form to search all tables in my database. Problem is that when I click "search" I get an invalid argument error. I am guessing that there is a problem with my SQL string. Missing space? Missing quotation marks? etc etc.... Anyway, here is the code:
Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
Dim fld As DAO.Field
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSearch As String
Dim strTableName As String
I import data through different files into a table, the data comes in different formats. I have a problem sometimes some records have double quotation marks and carriage returns. I know how to replace them as
Carriage Returns
Replace([FieldName],Chr(13) & Chr(10),""
Double Quotation Marks
Replace([FieldName],Chr(34),""
But if i want to use an iif statement because in the field there could be a Double Quotation Mark or Carriage return then it does not find the record
iif([FieldName] like Chr(34),Replace([FieldName],Chr(34),"",[FieldName])
In the highlighted line of code attached I am comparing two strings one from a snapshot recordset and one from an array.
The logic fails, you can see in the watches window both values equal "DESIGN and the elseif statement should execute but it does not.
The only reason I can see for this is that the values are equal to "DESIGN and not DESIGN. Where this single quotation mark comes from I do not know. It is not visible in the tables and it does not appear when the values are printed into excel.
I created a query in Query Builder which contains a DCount with multiple parameters and it runs as it should. I am trying to convert it to VBA, but my inability to put in the quotations marks correctly is frustrating me terribly.
Here is the SQL version from Query Builder:
UPDATE [Daily Status Update Table] SET [Daily Status Update Table].NumberOfChases = DCount("[ChaseOtherID5]","[Chases_View_ALL - TX_Mbr 9 Digit]","[ChaseOtherID5] = 'U - Initial Contact' AND [ChaseStatus] = 'A'"), [Daily Status Update Table].ChaseStatus = "A", [Daily Status Update Table].NewStatus = "A", [Daily Status Update Table].ChaseAssignment2 = "Unscheduled" WHERE ((([Daily Status Update Table].ChaseOtherID5)="U - Initial Contact"));
This is probably real easy to do, but ........ I have a field in Access that looks like this:
"12:12:01 PM 12/5/2005, 5:00:01 AM 12/6/2005, 7:00:25 AM 12/6/2005"
From this string, all I want is the last Date entry (mm/dd/yyyy). Thus in this result, it would be 12/6/2005. I know how to use the Right(), Left() and Mid() functions, but I do not want quotation marks included in my result.
I have a statement which is driving me nuts...i'm a beginner with using SQL:
Private Sub Command45_Click()
Me.Graph0.RowSource = "SELECT (Format([Date],""" """mmm""" ''yy')) AS Expr1 FROM Chart_Unsafe_Daily GROUP BY (Format([Date],'mmm'' '''yy")), (Year([Date])*12+Month([Date])-1);
End Sub
The statement is RED for an error, i'm sure it is because the quotation marks within the statement are incorrect.
I have a form with a button to print preview a report. This report needs one input parameter before executing. The computer this will run on is a touch screen and does not have a keyboard. Windows 7 has a "on screen keyboard" program. I want this to run first so that my user can input the parameter.
I have the following which throws an "Invalid procedure Call or Argument"
Sub CallTeclado() Dim RetVal RetVal = Shell("c:windowssystem32osk.exe", vbNormalNoFocus) End Sub
Hello I am trying to design a CD label 'report', it's going well except that the title field of our productions has to print with quotation marks around it'. The name of the field is, yes you guessed it, TITLE. I know it must be a simple solution but I'm at a loss to find it or understand it. I'm just a dumbo. Thanks for your time and expertise.
I'm developing an application where I want to call the keyboard up on the screen when a user enters a field. This is my setup:
Windows 8.1 32 Bit, Access Runtime 2010. Exact lines of code are:
Dim RetVal RetVal = Shell("C:Program FilesCommon Filesmicrosoft sharedinkTabTip.exe")
These lines of code work perfectly fine on my development PC which is running Windows 7 64 bit, Access/Office 32 bit.
I know the path to the exe is good. I can navigate and double click it and it works great. but the shell command is resulting in the invalid procedure.
I am having a frustrating problem with a report filter I have been using for years. The filter works fine if the data is a number, but I am using it for text this time and it simply will not filter the report because I am unable to have the text display as per below. I need to be able to put a qutotation mark before and after the text so that the report filter will recognise and apply the filter appropriately.
I have a table in Access 2010 containing the results of a survey. One of the fields in table is the actual quotes from customers who gave direct feedback. I have created a simple report containing all of the quotes. My manager would liek them included in a summary Word doc but wants quotation marks around every quote. It's too many to manually after the report is exported to Word. Is there a way to include quotation marks around the field in the report design view?
I have 2 errored records in my large access database which I am unable to delete. As I scroll over either of these records I get the error "Invalid Argument" but the database is functional otherwise... Until Today!
Other users can get into the database but I get the "Invalid Argument" error before it even loads the main form.
Every now and again (for no apparant reason) a record in my table becomes corrupted (the fields all change to #Error, Error etc) Also, the relationship between that and another table breaks and when I try to go into the forms I get the "Invalid Argumnent" message
I am running Win XP Pro, with Office 2003 accross a network, with a FE/BE split
I have a database that uses quite a lot of outside sources. There are multiple users and each one of us now are getting the invalid argument error. When we received it before it was because the DB was huge. It has since been made smaller. What are other reasons as to why we are getting this error again? We have to get out of the database, compact it and then go back in in order to do anything with it.
I've apparently hit the two gig limit in access. The database won't let me compact/repair. it wont let me save changes to tables. I can't open access by itself and repair the external table. I'm sure that the database could be shrunk down if I could get it to do the repair! I get an "Invalid Argument" error on everything I try to do.
Anyone experience this? Anyone have any suggestions?
I seem to be having some major problems with one of our tables.
Recently a table that has been fine for a long time has developed something corrupt, so it seems.
I found that the LAST entry in the table is nothing but #Error in every single field. When I open the table, I get 'Invalid Entry'. Clicking the 'Help' brings me to a page about 'Invalid Argument (Error 3001)'.
I have tried recreating the table, and copying back ALL the entries except for the #Error one... but the new table ALSO gives me the same message.
Has anyone seen this before? Is it corrupt data? Is it a corrupt table structure? What would be the best course of action to save the remaining data and get this table back to up and running?
I have a Form based on a Table of Clients, names and addresses etc. One of the records appears to be corrupt in some way because any time I attempt to access this record, either on the Table or in the Form, I receive an error message "Invalid Argument". The database then shows #Error in every Text Field and I am forced to CTRL Alt Del to close the Database. I cannot even access the record in order to delete it. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.
As soon as I run a Make Table Query I get an "Invalid Argument" message and then I am unable to do anything. I can't even import a .txt file, I get "Invalid Argument" when I do anything. Is my file corrupt or is there something wrong when I select the query as "Make Table Query" I keep having to create a new database.....My database is 2G - could it be that it's too large?
This is my first time on this site. It seems everyone is very helpful here, and I thank you in advance for any advice you give me.
I am a sales manager of a small company and also provide as much IT support as possible. (and by as much as possible, it really isn't much) - We have been receiving an 'Invalid Argument' response each time we search for a new field in any Form or try to pull any Reports. The error message appears twice when running a search in the Forms, then the searched for account appears. When attempting to pull as specific Report, the error message is given, then nothing happens. At this time, we are unable to run any Reports.
I have read that this can happen when your Access database is too large. I don't think that is the issue, it is 1.33KB. Also - I cannot compact and repair the database.
I have a Access 2000 database that occasionally has a popup message "Invalid Argument", which prevents me from running any action queries or codes. Also another Access 2000 database that has the same "Invalid Argument" error from which prevents me to import the tables to another database.
Do anybody know WHY does the error happen? WHAT does it mean? and HOW we fix it??
I have a macro run from an autokey (F12) that uses SendTo to send the current report that's on screen to an email as an attachment. This has been working perfectly for years and all of a sudden when I hit the F12 key I get: The Object Type argument for the action or method is blank or invalid. It's fine to just right click the report and use Send To but this is a pain for my users who just want to hit F12 as before.
I'm getting "Invalid procedure call or argument" pop up whenever my database uses any of the code. Any form that uses code in the Form_Open section now won't open etc.
This now effects all my forms, i'm 99% sure that i haven't changed anything and have no idea why its happening.
It doesn't seem to matter whether its clicking a button or opening a form it happens for any piece of code.
I have a split database with the back end sitting on a server.
I tried to delete two records (as i have done many times before) and now the fields are just filled with Error#. when I try and delete them from the table one at a time it comes up with Invalid argument (Error 3001) and then Access quits on me. I have tried everything I can think of - compact and repair, trying to copy the table, using all the fields in a make-table query to try and duplicate the table, moving the table off the server to my desktop and then trying to fix it, exporting to an Excel spreadsheet, trying a maketable query excluding these two records...but nothing works.
I have the following in a query to assign a sequence number to each record:
(SELECT Count(*) FROM [qryPTLActivity] AS T WHERE T.EmployeeID=[qryPTLActivity].[EmployeeID] AND T.PickDateTime <= [qryPTLActivity].[PickDateTime] AND T.PickAisle=[qryPTLActivity].[PickAisle])
I have used this in other databases without issue but for some reason this time I keep getting an "Invalid Argument for Function" error.
