Ken Snell's Multiple sheet export

[icq_giggles]

I've tried to use Ken's code, it worked fine then suddenly stopped. I've
been tweaking it so there could be compound problems by now.

Here's my adaptation, but (while it used to run) now I am getting a 3022
error - primary key type violation, not sure why or how - the break happens
at the qdf.Name = strDes
line. I'm sure it's something stupid I 've done or missed but been looking
at it too long to see.

ANY Help is appreicated - THANKS!

When I start having problems, I add "Debug.Pring strSQL" statements after any
line where I create a SQL string:

strSQL = "SELECT field1 FROM MyTable WHERE 1=0 "
Debug.Pring strSQL

Then I set a breakpoint and single step thru the code, checking the
immediate window after a debug pring line. I can copy the string from the
immediate windlw, switch to the query designer,create a new query, switch to
SQL view and paste in the string. I can run the query and check that the
results are what I expect.

Looking at your code, I saw three things I would correct.

1) In the following line, you are missing spaces in the WHERE clause:

strSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT tblBOM.Designation" & _
" FROM tblBOM" & _
" WHERE (((tblBOM.Vehicle)like'*" & OBV & "*'));"

There should be a space before and after the word LIKE.

2) If you set the variable qdf to nothing, you are destroying the pointer to
the variable. It (the variable) doesn't exist any more. So the second time
you loop thru the code, there is no variable, so you can't assign it a name.

qdf.Name = strDes
strTemp = qdf.Name
qdf.SQL = strSQL
qdf.Close
Set qdf = Nothing '<<<=======

3) This is a small item.

You didn't "open" the dbs, so you shouldn't close it.
You *did* create it ("Set dbs = CurrentDb "),
so you should destroy it ("Set dbs = Nothing ")

dbs.Close <== not needed!
Set dbs = Nothing

I was woundering if someone could explain to me why i can get this to work on numberic fields and not text fields???
