I have a Database (not built by me) that uses 3 separate forms to accomplish 1 thing.
I would instead like to pass a SQL string to the OpenArgs in order to utilize 1 form.
Original Code for form I'd like to utilize:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim strSQL As String
If Not IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) Then
strSQL = "SELECT tbl_COMBINED.[First Name] AS [Name Badge], 'P' AS Logo, Format(Now(),""yyyy"") & STOCKHOLDERS MEETING' AS MEETING " _
& "FROM tbl_COMBINED " _
& "GROUP BY tbl_COMBINED.[First Name], 'P', Format(Now(),""yyyy"") & ' STOCKHOLDERS MEETING', " _
& "tbl_COMBINED.ACCOUNT, tbl_COMBINED.Came " _
& "HAVING tbl_COMBINED.ACCOUNT = '" & CStr(Me.OpenArgs) & "' " _
& "AND ((tbl_COMBINED.Came) Is Null Or (tbl_COMBINED.Came)) = 0"
Me.RecordSource = strSQL
End If
End Sub
Each of the other forms is called by using
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_newmanualnamebadge", "", "",, acNormal
from the Main form and has the SQL string in the row source. I would like to eliminate the row source and utilize the 1 form. I set the string from each button to:
strManuel = "SELECT tbl_manual_name_badge.NAMEBADGE1, tbl_manual_name_badge.MEETING, " _
& "tbl_manual_name_badge.LOGO, tbl_manual_name_badge.Stockerholder " _
& "FROM tbl_manual_name_badge"
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_newmanualnamebadge", "", "",, acNormal, strManual
Passing the strManual to the form as a SQL string, however, every time I run it I get a "#Name?" in the name field instead of the name entered.
Here is the code I used on the form:
If Not IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) Then
strSQL = "SELECT tbl_COMBINED.[First Name] AS [Name Badge], 'P' AS Logo " _
& "FROM tbl_COMBINED " _
& "GROUP BY tbl_COMBINED.[First Name], 'P', " _
& "tbl_COMBINED.ACCOUNT, tbl_COMBINED.Came " _
& "HAVING tbl_COMBINED.ACCOUNT = '" & CStr(Me.OpenArgs) & "' " _
& "AND ((tbl_COMBINED.Came) Is Null Or (tbl_COMBINED.Came)) = 0"
Me.RecordSource = strSQL
ElseIf IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) Then
strSQL = "SELECT tbl_manual_name_badge.NAMEBADGE1, tbl_manual_name_badge.MEETING, " _
& "tbl_manual_name_badge.LOGO, tbl_manual_name_badge.Stockerholder " _
& "FROM tbl_manual_name_badge"
Me.RecordSource = strSQL
End If
Well, you either pass one value, or you pass the whole sql string.
But, if you passing the WHOLE sql string for the form, then this makes no sense:
If Not IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) Then
strSQL = "SELECT tbl_COMBINED.[First Name] AS [Name Badge], 'P' AS Logo " _
& "FROM tbl_COMBINED " _
& "GROUP BY tbl_COMBINED.[First Name], 'P', " _
& "tbl_COMBINED.ACCOUNT, tbl_COMBINED.Came " _
& "HAVING tbl_COMBINED.ACCOUNT = '" & CStr(Me.OpenArgs) & "' " _
& "AND ((tbl_COMBINED.Came) Is Null Or (tbl_COMBINED.Came)) = 0"
Me.RecordSource = strSQL
I mean, OpenArgs is a WHOLE sel string, and I am VERY sure that ACCOUNT = " some huge sql string" will NEVER work.
So, you would want this:
Dim strSQL As String
If Not IsNull(Me.OpenArgs) Then
strSQL = me.OpenArgs
else
strSQL = "SELECT tbl_manual_name_badge.NAMEBADGE1, tbl_manual_name_badge.MEETING, " _
& "tbl_manual_name_badge.LOGO, tbl_manual_name_badge.Stockerholder " _
& "FROM tbl_manual_name_badge"
End If
Me.RecordSource = strSQL
So, our logic is now:
if passed sql string (openargs), then that becomes our sql
if no open arges, then use the defined sql we have in the on-load
