Passing value from Public Sub to query

[LjushaMisha]

I'd like to filter query with a value from my Sub named NewName:

.....
NameVePlusBuy = (Version) & " - varianta " & (Buyer)
......

where Version and Buyer are declared as strings andNameVePlusBuy is some kind of combination of both, which I would like to use it in Append query like INSERT INTO tblXyz (ColumnX) values NameVePlusBuy

Any help???:banghead:

Vhange your Sub To Function

 

[LjushaMisha]

I made I change as you suggested (from sub to function) and it looks like this:

Public Function NewName()

Dim Var As Variant
Dim N As Double
Dim Buyer As String
Dim Item As String
Dim E As String
Dim NameVePlusBuy As String
Dim skl As String


Buyer = Forms!form1!Combo3.Column(1)
Item = Forms!form1!Text15

Var = Forms!form1!Text26
N = InStr(1, Var, " -") - 1

If N = 0 Or N = -1 Then
E = Var
Else
E = Left(Var, N)
End If

NameVePlusBuy = (E) & " - varianta " & (Buyer)
Debug.Print ImeEL

End Function

typing ? NewName in Immediate window I get "debug.printed" correct "answer"

Now I must put skl like:
skl = "Insert INto tbl01Elements (ElementName) Values ???? WHAT: NameVePlusBuy, NewNAme;"

and then
DoCmd.RunSQL skl

 

[arnelgp]

you need to assign NameVePlusBuy to NewName so that
function NewName will return the new string.
See the code before
End Function:

Public Function NewName()

Dim Var As Variant
Dim N As Double
Dim Buyer As String
Dim Item As String
Dim E As String
Dim NameVePlusBuy As String
Dim skl As String


Buyer = Forms!form1!Combo3.Column(1)
Item = Forms!form1!Text15

Var = Forms!form1!Text26
N = InStr(1, Var, " -") - 1

If N = 0 Or N = -1 Then
E = Var
Else
E = Left(Var, N)
End If

NameVePlusBuy = (E) & " - varianta " & (Buyer)
Debug.Print ImeEL

NewName = NameVePlusBuy

End Function


'***

now you used it in query:

skl = Insert Into tbl01Elements (ElementName) SELECT '" NewName() & "';"

IT seems it work. Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, ...........

 

[arnelgp]

I can see wow happy you are...

 

[LjushaMisha]

Yes, indeed I'm. Especially because I've used some SUB's but never (till today) FUNCTIONS. And now I see what is one of good reasons to use them. Thanks again. Hope you'll be able to help me with my next problem (which will appear for shure)
Best regards
