Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression

P

Peter

Hi all and thanks for all help, i have this issue:

I have created a command button with the help of the command button wizard.
The purpose is to open a form and find a specific record related to the
textfield in the form i placed the commadn button: Case ID <> Case ID. The
form that resides the record is a single form. When i populate the textfiled
and press the button, the form opens with the correct record but if i press
the command button and the textfield is empty i receive the following error
message:
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression "[Case ID]= "

this is the code:

stLinkCriteria = "[Case ID]=" & Me![Case ID]

What am i doing wrong??????

Hi Peter,
You stop the code from running if the textfield is empty like this-->
If Not IsNull(Me.CaseID) Then
stLinkCriteria = "[Case ID]=" & Me![Case ID]
End If

The code on the button will only run when there is something in textfield
and you won't see the error message.

Peter,
It looks like your form has a name with a space in it.
"Single View"
Put square brackets around any form, query, table, or report names when
using them in VBA code

stDocName = "[Single View]"


If you are in the early stages of this database, I strongly suggest that you
use names that don't have any spaces or any odd characters in them.

Slight clarification about names.

Putting square brackets around names in VBA applies to any names that have
spaces or other odd characters such as punctuation marks, the ampersand etc.
