Another SQL quandry

S

Stewart

I'm trying to convert(format) this sql from my query to a form I can use in
vba(or vb) and escape the DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryQuery" trap.

My query sql view:

INSERT INTO tblMessQ ( RecipID, ConCode, Message, [Date], [Ack/success] )
SELECT tblMessLog.RecipID, tblRecipients.Concode,
Forms!frmTestMess!txtTextMess AS Message, Now() AS [Date], 0 AS Ack
FROM tblMessLog INNER JOIN tblRecipients ON tblMessLog.RecipID =
tblRecipients.ID;


VBRSgen converts it to: 'was worth a shot...

Dim daoDB As DAO.Database
Dim strSQL As String

strSQL = "INSERT INTO "
strSQL = strSQL & "tblMessQ "
strSQL = strSQL & "("
strSQL = strSQL & "RecipID, "
strSQL = strSQL & "ConCode, "
strSQL = strSQL & "Message, "
strSQL = strSQL & "[Date], "
strSQL = strSQL & "[Ack/success]"
strSQL = strSQL & ") "
strSQL = strSQL & "("
strSQL = strSQL & "SELECT "
strSQL = strSQL & "INNER JOIN tblMessLog ON tblRecipients.ID =
tblMessLog.RecipID"
strSQL = strSQL & ""
strSQL = strSQL & ")"
Set daoDB = Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase("C:\Test_1.mdb")
MsgBox strSQL
daoDB.Execute (strSQL)
If Not (daoDB Is Nothing) Then
Set daoDB = Nothing
End If

** But has INSERT INTO error I can't find.

I also had no success with:

strSQL1 = "INSERT INTO tblMessQ ([RecipID], [ConCode], [Message], [Date],
[Ack/success])"
strSQL2 = "SELECT [tblMessLog].[RecipID], [tblRecipients].[Concode],
Forms!frmTestMess!txtTextMess AS Message, Now() AS [Date], 0 AS [Ack]"
strSQL3 = "FROM tblRecipients INNER JOIN tblRecipients.[ID] = '" &
[tblMessLog].[RecipID] & "' ; "
strSQL = strSQL1 & Chr(13) & strSQL2 & Chr(13) & strSQL3
MsgBox strSQL, , "SQL Contents here"

** Although it was nicely on three lines looking excatly like my original
query's sql view.

Any assistance appreciated.

Wow that's a great tool Allen.

I'm still receiving an error: Run Timer error 3061, Too few peramaters.
Expected 1

I've seen that a great deal of that lately.

Result sql is:
strSql = "INSERT INTO tblMessQ ( RecipID, ConCode, Message, [Date],
[Ack/success] ) " & vbCrLf & _
"SELECT tblMessLog.RecipID, tblRecipients.Concode,
Forms!frmTestMess!txtTextMess AS Message, Now() AS [Date], 0 AS Ack " &
vbCrLf & _
"FROM tblMessLog INNER JOIN tblRecipients ON tblMessLog.RecipID =
tblRecipients.ID;"

Probably the reference to the control is causing the problem. Try
getting the value of the control and including that in the text string.
That may still have problems if txtTextMess is too long.

strSql = "INSERT INTO tblMessQ ( RecipID, ConCode, Message, [Date],
[Ack/success] ) " & vbCrLf & _
"SELECT tblMessLog.RecipID, tblRecipients.Concode,""" & _
Forms!frmTestMess!txtTextMess & """, Now() AS [Date], 0 AS Ack " &
vbCrLf & _
"FROM tblMessLog INNER JOIN tblRecipients ON tblMessLog.RecipID =
tblRecipients.ID;"

You are correct.

When I hard code text in place of the form reference it works perfect.

So I created a variable and set it = to the form reference. That causes the
same Too Few perametrs error.

Obviously I am not seeing something. How is what I posted different
from what you have come up with for a solution? The only thing I can
see is that I did not bother to alias the inserted value. Did that
cause an error? In my experience it hasn't, but ...

If my solution is faulty I would really like to know why so I don't give
the same bad advice to someone else.

Your last suggestion was:
"SELECT tblMessLog.RecipID, tblRecipients.Concode,""" & _
Forms!frmTestMess!txtTextMess & """, Now() AS [Date], 0 AS Ack " &
vbCrLf & _

It gave me an error of aaaa(?), missing/expected element or something, I
wondered why every other element had the target field name, except this one.
I'm understanding more now, no field or Expr1, didn't look as specific as
the ither items, so I added the Message field name as follows.

"SELECT tblMessLog.RecipID, tblRecipients.Concode,""" & _
Forms!frmTestMess!txtTextMess & """ AS Message, Now() AS [Date], 0 AS Ack "
& vbCrLf & _

YOUR ADVICE IS NEVER BAD! Its tremendous, a bail-out, a good night's sleep
rather than agonizing over a vague error code for days. Its very
appreciated.

Set daoDB = Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase("C:\Test_1.mdb")
MsgBox strSQL
daoDB.Execute (strSQL)
If Not (daoDB Is Nothing) Then
Set daoDB = Nothing
End If

** But has INSERT INTO error I can't find.

I also had no success with:

strSQL1 = "INSERT INTO tblMessQ ([RecipID], [ConCode], [Message],
[Date],
[Ack/success])"
strSQL2 = "SELECT [tblMessLog].[RecipID], [tblRecipients].[Concode],
Forms!frmTestMess!txtTextMess AS Message, Now() AS [Date], 0 AS
[Ack]"
strSQL3 = "FROM tblRecipients INNER JOIN tblRecipients.[ID] = '" &
[tblMessLog].[RecipID] & "' ; "
strSQL = strSQL1 & Chr(13) & strSQL2 & Chr(13) & strSQL3
MsgBox strSQL, , "SQL Contents here"

** Although it was nicely on three lines looking excatly like my
original
query's sql view.

Any assistance appreciated.
