Export using strSQL

S

Steven

I am trying to export using a SELECT statment and if returns "Too few
parameters, expected 4". I am pretty sure the SELECT statment is ok. I have
tested it in a query. What am I doing wrong.

Thank you,

Steven

Hi Steven

When you open a saved query from the Database window, the Access application
resolves any references to Access objects such as controls on forms etc.

However, when you use DAO.Database.OpenRecordset on a query or a SQL string,
Access is bypassed and the request is passed directly by DAO to the database
engine (Jet) which knows nothing of Access forms.

Therefore, every instance of [Forms]![FLeadLookup]![...] in your query
results in an unresolved parameter.

This situation is usually resolved by concatenating the actual values (not
the names of the controls) into the SQL string. For example:

"WHERE ((([SM&R].Period) <= " & [Forms]![FLeadLookup]![Combo42] & ")) " &
_

[Note the use of "&" instead of "+" for string concatenation. "+" can
produce unexpected results]

However, there is another problem with your code, and that is that
TransferSpreadsheet works only on named tables or queries, not on Recordset
objects, so:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, rs, ...
will not work.

I suggest you save your SQL in a named query and then use that for the
export:

DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 8, "qryExportAccountBalances", ...

Thank you, I was able to get the recordset to open per your help. The other
part, ok, I was hoping it worked with a strSQL.
