execute

[Guest]

I am having an error code come up saying Run Time Error '3061' Too few
parameters. Expected 1

This error shows me my execute statement:
db.execute strSQL, dbFailOnError.

I have defined by db as CurrentDb already. I am trying to execute my Insert
Into statement which is the variable strSQL.
Please help anyone.....

You'll get that message when the SQL string contains an unresolved
parameter, or an unrecognized word that the query engine construes as a
parameter. Does your SQL string contain a reference to a control on a
form? If so, DAO won't recognize it and fill it in automatically.
Usually, your best solution to this problem is to build the value of the
control into the string, rather than a reference to the control.

What's the value of strSQL, and what does the surrounding code look
like?

Dirk,
This is the code for the calculation button. I am trying to populate a table
with records that are calculated from this code. Basically it will loop
through and give me 12 dates in the future that will be seperate records in
my other table. The string is my Insert Into code. The values in the code
will partly be what the user enters on the form and part what the code
calculates for the dates needed in the future. But like I said previously, I
keep getting the parameter message. Any help you can give would be so greatly
appreciated. It is one of those I had to get up for a little while and walk
away. So a fresh set of eyes would be most helpful.
Thank you,
Amy

Make sure that "Test" is really the name of your table, and that
"SocialSecurity", "StartDate", "TestType", and "DateDue" are really the
names of fields in that table -- check the exact spellings. Also, check
that TestType is a numeric field, and that the bound column of
lstTestType contains numeric values.

If I were writing this, I'd put a space into the SQL string before the
"Values" keyword for clarity, but that isn't actually required in this
case because the closing parenthesis is a sufficient delimiter.

The names are all correct. But the TestType field is a text field with the
name of the test needed in it. The same goes for the list boxes. Is this what
is causing the problem?If so do you know the direction I need to go to fix
it. I appreciate all the time and help.

I think so.

If so do you know the
direction I need to go to fix it.

Try this:

strSql = _
"Insert Into Test " & _
"(SocialSecurity,StartDate,TestType,DateDue) " & _
"Values ('" & _
Me.txtSocialSecurity & "', #" & _
Format(Me.txtStart, "mm/dd/yyyy") & "#, '" & _
Me.lstTestType & "', #" & _
Format(dteTest, "mm/dd/yyyy") & "#)"

That should work, provide the values for TestType can't contain the
single-quote character ('). I also took the liberty of forcing the
format of your date fields to mm/dd/yyyy, to prevent any chance of
misinterpretation of ambiguous dates.
