Subqueries in Access

[Ben_Entrew]

Hello,

I try to execute following subquery:

DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT DISTINCT Q_PRICES.Material, Q_PRICES.Product_Class INTO TEST " & _
"FROM Q_PRICES " & _
"WHERE " & _
"(SELECT Q_PRICES.Material " & _
"FROM Q_PRICES " & _
"WHERE Q_PRICES.Valid_to Like '*2017' " & _
"GROUP BY Q_PRICES.Material " & _
"HAVING Count(Q_PRICES.Product_Class)>1) " & _
"GROUP BY Q_PRICES.Material, Q_PRICES.Product_Class"

It replies me this warning message:

At most one record can be returned by this subquery

Basically I wanna find out if there are material numbers with more than one product class name. This shouldn't occur in our data.

Any clue how I can rewrite this?

Thank you.

Regards,
Ben

dont write sql, create a query, bind the query to the sub form.
see if this works. It may give errors why.

If the subquery can produce more than one result maybe you need to use WHERE IN rather than just WHERE. Some like:

DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT DISTINCT Q_PRICES.Material, Q_PRICES.Product_Class INTO TEST " & _
"FROM Q_PRICES " & _
"WHERE[COLOR="Blue"] Q_PRICES.Material IN[/COLOR] " & _
...

in place of

DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT DISTINCT Q_PRICES.Material, Q_PRICES.Product_Class INTO TEST " & _
"FROM Q_PRICES " & _
"WHERE " & _
...
