Duane Hookum's Concatentate - trouble in Access 2007?

[HLCruz via AccessMonster.com]

I have a database that I created in Access 2003; there are a few places where
I use the code from Duane Hookum's concatentae funcion in my database.

The code has worked perfectly for well over a year in several instances,
however suddenly it won't work anywhere. I get a run-time error - Syntax
error (missing operator) in query expression - 'MailingID =' ... when I
debug it, the following line of code is hightlighted:

Set rs= db.OpenRecordset (PastStrSQL)

I haven't changed any of my code, however we did move to Access 2007 recently.
If the SQL doesn't appear to be the problem, I would appreciate any
suggestions on where to troubleshoot. I really miss using this funtion.

Thank you,
Heather

Here is a sample of the SQL of one of the queries that no longer works ...

SELECT sysqryShiningStarHouseholdIDs.MailingID, Concatenate("SELECT LastName
FROM sysqryShiningStars WHERE MailingID =" & [MailingID] & " ORDER BY
LastName") AS LastNames, Concatenate("SELECT FirstName FROM
sysqryShiningStars WHERE MailingID =" & [MailingID] & " ORDER BY FirstName")
AS FirstNames, Concatenate("SELECT Age FROM sysqryShiningStars WHERE
MailingID =" & [MailingID] & " ORDER BY FirstName") AS Age
FROM sysqryShiningStarHouseholdIDs;


SQL for sqryShiningStarHouseholdIDs:
SELECT sysqryShiningStarDesignators.MailingID, First
(sysqryShiningStarDesignators.ProfileCode) AS FirstOfProfileCode
FROM sysqryShiningStarDesignators
GROUP BY sysqryShiningStarDesignators.MailingID;

SQL for sysqryShiningStarDesignators:
SELECT tblMailingList.MailingID, tblDesignators.ProfileCode
FROM tblMailingList RIGHT JOIN tblDesignators ON tblMailingList.MailingID =
tblDesignators.MailingID
WHERE (((tblDesignators.ProfileCode)="ShiningStar"));

You need to tell us what is in PastStrSQL since that is where the trouble
seems to lie. To find out you can place the following line above your line,
e.g.:
Msgbox PastStrSQL,,"SQL"
Set rs= db.OpenRecordset (PastStrSQL)
-- Dorian
"Give someone a fish and they eat for a day; teach someone to fish and they
eat for a lifetime".

I expect there is a null value of MailingID in your query. Try to filter
them out.
