Help with Syntax Too Few Parameters

W

wrightlife11

I am trying to get the earliest date of a set of records. I can't use last
or first because the records came into the database with no correlation to
the dates.

I wrote this code to find the answer, but it has a problem getting
information from the form control that the SQL states.

Why does this code not work? I get a runtime error '3061'. Too Few
Parameters. Expected 1.
When I put a value( ie.'5132053') in the WHERE clause instead of the form
control it works fine, but I need to limit the parameters to the form control.
The form is open and the control has data like the value above. I tried to
use the results of the combo box since it is filtering records in the data
set, but that did not work either.

Public Function EarlyFlameOnShapes() As Date

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim dte As Variant


Set db = CurrentDb
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT tblMain.*,
IIf(IsNull([SFStartDate]),'9/9/9999',[SFStartDate])) AS StartDate " & _
"FROM tblMain " & _
"WHERE (((tblMain.FabDoc) Like " & _

"Forms!frmFabDocCheckOff!cmboFabDoc));")


rst.MoveFirst
dte = rst![StartDate]

While Not rst.EOF
dte = rst![StartDate]
If rst![StartDate] < dte Then
dte = rst![StartDate]
End If
rst.MoveNext
Wend

rst.Close
Set rst = Nothing

EarlyFlameOnShapes = dte
End Function

Try the following

Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT tblMain.*,
IIf(IsNull([SFStartDate]),#9/9/9999#,[SFStartDate])) AS StartDate " & _
"FROM tblMain " & _
"WHERE tblMain.FabDoc Like '" & _
Forms!frmFabDocCheckOff!cmboFabDoc & "' "

The assumption is that Forms!frmFabDocCheckOff!cmboFabDoc returns a
string, and in a query a string value needs to be wrapped in
single-quotes. There is one just in front of it as well.

Hi

You can do this with just one line:

EarlyFlameOnShapes = DMin("[SFStartDate]", "[tblMain]","[FabDoc='" &
Forms!frmFabDocCheckOff!cmboFabDoc) & "'"

This assumes that cmboFabDoc returns a string, otherwise leave out the
single 's. Note that,exagerated, '" is ' " and "'" is " ' ".

Cheers.

Nice catch, but if you just use DMin, you can keep the
FORMS!formName!controlName inside the string, which removes any kind of
problem with delimiter (and eventual presence of the delimiter itself inside
the value, such as if the value inside cmboFacDoc is 5'10 " 1/8 :


EarlyFlameOnShapes = DMin("SFStartDate",
"tblMain","FabDoc=Forms!frmFabDocCheckOff!cmboFabDoc")


The syntax FORMS!formName!controlName is nice as long as you use the user
interface, DoCmd, properties RowSource or RecordSource, and Dxxx functions.
The syntax is NOT automatically recognized with CurrentDb, but as long as it
IS recognized, keeping it inside the criteria string avoid the delimiter
problems.

Hi Michel

You are quite right.

However, as generally the field providing the filter value will be on the
same form as the coding, using 's makes sense as 'me.' etc. can be used to
simplify the coding.
I'm not sure I agree with you re string " & ' values. I've tested my version
using, e.g., 2" and it works fine? VBA Help clearly shows that preferred best
practice is to build the filter string within the line, i.e. outside of the
"s.

Cheers.

If the string hold and ' and ", as in the case of 5' 6" (five feet six
inches), you are due to double your delimiter inside the constant. It is a
little bit like:

? " 5' 6"" "
5' 6"


var="5' 6"" "
? "field=""" & var & """"
field= "5' 6" "


which is an invalid criteria ( having three double quotes ). A solution is
to use replace:

? "field =""" & Replace(var, """", """""") & """"
field ="5' 6"" "

which is now correct.


So,without the replace( ), if the delimiter is used in the content of the
variable, you get a problem and thus, it sounds much easier to let the
container inside the string, if possible:

"... WHERE field=FORMS!formName!controlNameHoldingTheValue5feet6inches"


but that assumes you use DoCmd, Dxxx, ... etc, but not CurrentDb.


Ken Getz reports using # as delimiter, in cases where " and ' can be used
inside the content of the variable, see ADH 2000 volume1, page 421.

set, but that did not work either.

Public Function EarlyFlameOnShapes() As Date

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim dte As Variant


Set db = CurrentDb
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT tblMain.*,
IIf(IsNull([SFStartDate]),'9/9/9999',[SFStartDate])) AS

"FROM tblMain " & _
"WHERE
(((tblMain.FabDoc) Like " & _

"Forms!frmFabDocCheckOff!cmboFabDoc));")


rst.MoveFirst
dte = rst![StartDate]

While Not rst.EOF
dte = rst![StartDate]
If rst![StartDate] < dte Then
dte = rst![StartDate]
End If
rst.MoveNext
Wend

rst.Close
Set rst = Nothing

EarlyFlameOnShapes = dte
End Function
