Hello;

I have a combobox that looks at a table which sets the criteria of a field .
Based on the criteria ; the list box in the same form gets populated in the
form.


Combo28 (Coulmn (1) is where hte criteria is



List name is : lstInstrIssue (Shows results)

Table for criteria is criteria2:
criteria2 Product ID Product Name Product Description
1 Like 'HV*' All Automated Valves
2 Like 'MU*' All Motors
3 Like 'AI*' All Analog Inputs
4 Like 'AO*' All Analog Outputs
9 Like 'SI*' All Switches
10 Like 'T*' ProfiBus Transmitter
11 Like 'MS*'

12 Like "??T*"

13 Like "HV*" Test all automated Valves
14 Like "MU*" OR Like "MS*" Test All Motors



when I enter Like "MU*" it works, Like "MS*" also works on different lines
in the combo box. However if I use

Like "MU*" OR Like "MS*" on the same line it stops working. I also tried
Like 'MU*' . What am I doing wrong.

The back end tables are on SQL server.

Here is the Code;
Private Sub Combo28_AfterUpdate()

Dim strSelected As String



'strSelected = "select * from MYTABLE_COMPONENT where [CMPNT_NAME]" &
Me![Combo28].Column(1)

strSelected = "SELECT [Query2].CMPNT_ID,[Query2].CMPNT_NAME,
[Query2].CMPNT_NUM,[Query2].SPEC_CMPNT_TYPE,[Query2].SPEC_CMPNT_FUNC FROM
[Query2] where [CMPNT_NAME]" & Me![Combo28].Column(1)

Me!lstInstrIssue.RowSource = strSelected

Me.Combo6 = ""

Me!cmdSelectIssue.Enabled = True

Me!cmdclearall.Enabled = True



lstInstrIssue.Requery



End Sub

You can't shortcircuit the WHERE clause like that in SQL. If you're building
a query through the graphical query interface and you type Like "MU*" OR
Like "MS*" in the Criteria cell of the grid then go look at the SQL that's
generated, you'll find it's something like

WHERE (((Query2.[CMPNT_NAME]) Like "MU*" Or (Query2.[CMPNT_NAME]) Like
"MS*"))

Like "M*" works

Like 'M*' works also. Note that the code has the varaible [CMPNT_NAME]
already in it. So I can't say CMPNT_NAME = [CMPNT_NAME] Like "HV*"

"HV*" also works

Marshall;
The condition or the value of the Combobox changes as it is what sets the
criteria. So I can not hard code the criteria .

Thank you

So you are saying I should remove the varaible

From this statement in the end of SQL : where " & Me![Combo28].Column(1) ;
i.e use it with no [CMPNT_NAME] ??

If that is the case how will it determine what I am filtering on ? I am
sorry I am not sure I understand.

Thanks in Advance

I do not understand what you think is being "hard coded".
Your table has the criteria, it is just insufficient for the
compound condition. If you carefully look at what I
suggested, you'll see that the critical point is that the
field name must be used with each comparison. That is, you
must use:

[fld] Like "pattern1*" OR [fld] Like "pattern2*"

instead of the shorthand stuff you might enter in the query
design grid. In other words, this will not work:
[fld] Like "pattern1*" OR Like "pattern2*"
because the second Like has no left hand operand.

If anything, my suggestion is less "hard coded" than what
you were using. You had the field name in your VBA code
whereas I put it in the table so the same list could allow
filtering on different and/or multiple fields.

Re-read Marsh's suggestion.

Ahhh. Okay. I now see what you mean. But since CMPNT_Name is the only thing
I am after and thr user may add more criteria (Where he/she have little
access Knowledge), that's why I opted to build a table with the different
iterations. You suggested to take the field name from the code and put it in
the criteria table I like that too.

It looks like the "M[SU]*" it works just fine.

Thanks for your time , Marsh and Doug. and everyone who answered :=)

Now if you can give me a hand with my Case statement, I'll be a very happy
camper.

Thanks all.

All the other replies got it wrong and got too complicated. The problem lies
with the '*' character. You should be using '%' for databases outside of
Access.

e.g. where field_name like 'MU%'

Hope that helps...

This type of response is typical of the nonsense posted by Moaron
Kempf. The original poster is using Access to retrieve the data from
the server so the asterisk is the correct wildcard.

IS the field cmpnt_name indexed? If not you could be doing a full table
