Yup, I changed the return type to string and concatenated and that does the trick. Hehe yeah hopefully this database doesn't get too big and flood these reports.

Surprise surprise here I am again. Any ideas on how I can return multiple values from the function? Right now it looks like: functionname() functionname=value Which of course returns 'value'. How can I make it return multiple values?

Eureka, it works! I didn't know it was a 2-dimensional array! VbaInet strikes again. Yeah, if I had a lot of records it could get messy but I'll largely be limited to just a few. Thanks again! Hopefully I won't need to bother you with this again.

I have a query whose results i want to show on a report in a textbox using a function. I figured the best way would be to store the values I want into an array so that I can pass the array values I want back to the textbox on the report. Is there a better way to do this? I tried getrows. Based...

Hey all ! I had a little problem. I have a query that has 2 fields in it and 6 records. I want to create something like an array ideally that stores the 6 values from one of the fields. I tried this: Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("testquery") testval = rst3.Fields("minofmin breaker rating")...

The code I'm using is: DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE [Dummy Table] SET [Line Rating] = Enter_Rating_Value WHERE [Sub Station] = Enter_substation_name" Which prompts the user to enter the values for Line Rating and then Sub Station. Zero length string, eh. I guess if I know where it is stored I can set...

Hahah you're right. Run-Time error '3270'" Reserved Error I guess access doesn't really know how to proceed if the user chooses to cancel.

Yup. By the way: when I prompt the user to enter the parameter value, if the user clicks cancel then my program runs into an error. Can I assign an event to the "cancel" button to, say, close the report?

I do believe bob is right. I never had any issues with grabbing values from textboxes when i was working with forms, but I guess reports really don't have that functionality. Thanks so much all of you for your time, wisdom and patience! I think I'll have to settle for having the user be...

Sorry for the confusion guys. I'm working with a Report. On this Report there is a textbox and a button. When the button is clicked, I wish to grab the value in the textbox and update certain records in a table using that value. The problem is that even when I type a value into the textbox...

I'm back! Hope you all had a fantastic 4th of July weekend. Aaaand I still have this problem. I checked the name (I changed the name of the textbox in the 'other' tab of its properties to 'rating') but it doesn't seem to work. This textbox is on a report, by the way, not a form. I've grabbed...

You're right, it's empty. How is it empty though, I enter text into it. I did make sure to tab out of the textbox and it still gave me the error. I deleted and readded the textbox too. Also, the msgbox command did in fact return "Contains Nothing". How odd. I succeeded in grabbing the value...

Hmm...I tried both and neither worked. When I used the variable: SQL "UPDATE [Dummy Table] SET [Line Rating] = " & var & " WHERE [Sub Station] = 'crosby'" It gave the error "Invalid use of Null" and pointed to this line: var=me.rating When I used your line, it gave the error "Syntax error in...

OK here I am again. What I actually need to do ultimately is grab the value from a text box and use that in this SQL statement. The name of the textbox in question is "rating". This is what I tried: var = Me.rating DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE [Dummy Table] SET [Line Rating] = var WHERE [Sub...

Fantastic. Thank you so much sir. And your response was so speedy too!

Just one more quick tag question: If I'm trying to specify a criteria, should it look like this? DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE [Dummy Table] SET [Line Rating] = 100 WHERE [Sub Station] LIKE [crosby]" When I do this, it prompts me for a parameter value with a box containing the word "Crosby". If i...

HOLY COW. It worked! Sheer genius. I've been trying all sorts of ways to get this thing to process SQL statements and this finally worked. Thanks a ton! Now I can try and work on the more specific task I need to accomplish. Thanks again!

Hey all I've trying for weeks to be able to run SQL statements in my vba program but nothing has worked so far. I've come across all kinds of syntaxes, tried modeling my statements after access' generated SQL for queries, used record sets- nothing has yielded results. I always get a syntax...
