Hi everyone!
First, I want to say I would REALLY appreciate any help I could get with this problem. Let me lay out the details.
I DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT know the first thing about programming for ms access. I am an absolute novice, no exaggeration at all. I was a liberal arts major in school!!!!!
Here's the thing: being adventurous and all, about 2 years ago a co-worker and I were fiddling with databases to try and help out our employer keep track of dispatching his equipment for his business. With a little too much time on our hands, before we knew it, our database became fairly complicated, for such novices. A kind gentleman on this forum did us an enormous favor, and programmed a search form for our database. you could enter any or all of the id #'s for various equipment, and it would pop up in a list box. Double-clicking the listbox would open the particular record you were looking for.
Fast-forwarding to now, I'm trying to create another database to keep track of our inventory while while various equipment moves in and out of our yard. I have tried using the old search form as a foundation to create a similar search form for this db. I think I actually have it (kind-of) working! You type in a container number, and the record should pop up. which is a miracle all its own.
problem is, is that when you doubleclick the selection in the list box, I receive the following error:
"Run-time error '3075':
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '[ShipID] = '.
I click debug, and visual basic brings me to:
DoCmd.OpenForm "Inventory Table Form",,, "[ShipID] = " & Me.lstInfo
I don't know what to do! I'm sure it must be something painfully simple or obvious, but I'm really stuck & would appreciate any help.
Also, I would really appreciate any advice on this: I'd like to also be able to search by chassis # in addition to container number, but i don't know how to do it. no big deal, though. THANKS SO MUCH!!
p.s., I've attached the db. please let me know if you can open it ok
