Using a field on form as a parameter

G

Guest

Hi everyone! Using A02 on XP. Not a programmer, but loving learning.

I have a form that imports a .txt file and then pulls few bells and blows a
few whistles to spit out a .xls file to send to a client. Each table is
named the contract number that has been selected on the form. Next I need to
delete records that meet certain criteria ([StatusCode]="T" and [StatusDate]
is less then [PYB]. PYB is an unbound field that you can type any date into.
Here's my code:

Private Sub Command44_Click()

If IsNull(Me.PYB) Then
MsgBox "You must have a Plan Year Beginning date keyed in. Click
the arrow to copy in the data from the calculated field."
Exit Sub
Else
On Error GoTo ErrHandler

Dim sqlStmt As String

sqlStmt = "DELETE * " & _
"FROM " & [Forms]![fCensus1Conversion]![RunThisOne] & "Copy " & _
"WHERE ([STATUSCODE] = 'T') AND ([STATUSDATE]
<[Forms]![fCensus1Conversion]![PYB])" & _
" WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;"

Debug.Print "*" & sqlStmt & "*"

CurrentDb().Execute sqlStmt, dbFailOnError

MsgBox "You have deleted records with a Status Code of T and a
Status Date greater than 500 days."
End If
Exit Sub

I get this error: Error in Command44_Click() in fCensus1Conversion form.
Error #3061. Too few parameters. Expected 1.

On the Debug.Print I get this: *DELETE * FROM GP2473Copy WHERE
([STATUSCODE] = 'T') AND ([STATUSDATE] <[Forms]![fCensus1Conversion]![PYB])
WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;*

I've made sure that my cursor leaves the field but not sure why it's not
working. Any suggestions or advice? Thanks very much in advance for taking
time to read this.

A couple of problems. All refereces to varialbles or controls have to be
outside the qoutes. If they are inside the quotes, Jet sees them as literal
strings. Also, note that there are rules on delimiting parameters:
Number fields - No delimiter
Text fields - " or '
Date fields - #


sqlStmt = "DELETE * FROM " & [Forms]![fCensus1Conversion]![RunThisOne] _
& "Copy WHERE [STATUSCODE] = 'T' AND ([STATUSDATE] < # " _
& [Forms]![fCensus1Conversion]![PYB]) & _
"# WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;"

try

sqlStmt = "DELETE * " & _
"FROM " & [Forms]![fCensus1Conversion]![RunThisOne] & "Copy " & _
"WHERE ([STATUSCODE] = 'T') AND ([STATUSDATE]<" & _
[Forms]![fCensus1Conversion]![PYB]) & _
" WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;"

if [STATUSDATE] is a Date/Time data type, change the syntax to

([STATUSDATE]<#" & _
[Forms]![fCensus1Conversion]![PYB]) & _
"# WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;"

I'm getting a 'Compile error: Syntax Error.' message. And a few times I got
'Expected: End of Statement' and the ) after [PYB] is highlighted. Tried to
remove the &_'s but didn't matter. What am I doing wrong?

presumably you've changed your SQL statement to comply with the suggestions
posted by myself and Klatuu. copy/paste your revised code into a post, so we
can look at the "new" SQL statement and help you fix it.

you're welcome :)
Not sure why I had the parenthesis in there
Click to expand...

if you built the query in the query design grid, and then opened the SQL
pane and copied the SQL statement to paste into your code (i often do this
myself), Access undoubtedly added the parentheses automatically when it
built the SQL statement - it really goes wild with parentheses for some
reason (though on occasion they *are* necessary).
