Running a SELECT statement

[Guest]

When I try to run the following
DoCmd.RunSQL "Select tblTest.* From tblTest"
I get an error 2342 A RunSQL Action requires an argument consistent with an
SQL statement. What am I missing

DoCmd.RunSQL will only run action queries. Your SQL statement is a select
query, therefore it doesn't work.

If you want to display the datasheet view from the query, try
DoCmd.OpenQuery method.

RunSQL is a method of the DoCmd object in Microsoft Access. It is designed
for DML SQL, such as UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE statements. You cannot
"execute" a SELECT query so the RunSQL method will fail if you attempt to
pass a select statement to it.
