I am looking for a way to save a query via VBS code. I have a function that
creates a query (string variable) based upon user selected values from
multiple list boxes. The users also want the ability to save the query to a
query in the database. Is there anyway I can take the string variable that
contains the query code and save it to a query in the database?

Thanks
 
CurrentDb.CreateQueryDef "MyQuery", "SELECT * FROM tblTest"

The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for
me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups. E-mail replies to
this post will be deleted without being read. Any e-mail claiming to be
from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a
GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.
 
Will this save the query sting to a query object in the database? I tried
something like this, but it did not create a new query in the database.

Thanks

Yes, it will. You might have to follow it with a RefreshDatabaseWindow
command before you can see it ...

Public Sub CreateQuery()

CurrentDb.CreateQueryDef "MyQuery2", "SELECT * FROM tblTest"
Application.RefreshDatabaseWindow
DoCmd.SelectObject acQuery, "MyQuery2", True

End Sub
